Say It Ain’t So Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, yeah
Alright
[Verse 1]
Somebody's Heine
Is crowding my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is giving me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes
[Interlude]
Oh, yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside
[Verse 2]
Flip on the telly
Wrestle with Jimmy
Somethin' is bubblin'
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
[Chorus]
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
[Verse 3]
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
"This way
Is a water slide away from me that takes you further every day"
So be cool
[Chorus]
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
[Bridge]
Dear daddy, I write you
In spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus
Things are good, or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's
Awakens ancient feelin's
Like father, stepfather
The son is drowning in the flood
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker

As Cuomo is quoted on a very old fan site (which itself is presumably drawing from an early Weezer fan zine issue):
It’s such a complicated story, way too complex to write a song about. I should never have done it. I was really afraid of alcohol at the time. I didn’t drink till I was 21, not even a...
