Lyrics
You can say what you want
You can express your opinions freely
Say what you want
Reiteration of the freedom to express opinions
But it won't change a thing
Stating that expressing opinions won't have an impact
Won't change a thing
Reaffirming that expressing opinions won't bring change
You can say what you want
Repetition of the idea that expressing opinions won't change anything
Say what you want
Continued emphasis on the lack of impact from expressing opinions
But it won't change a thing
Reiteration that expressing opinions won't result in change
Won't change a thing
Emphasizing the futility of expressing opinions
'Cause I saw you with another guy
Revelation of the singer witnessing their partner with another person
I saw you with another guy
Confirmation of seeing the partner with someone else
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Reiteration of witnessing the partner with another person
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
Describing the scene of the partner holding hands and kissing another person
You can cry all your like
Acknowledging the possibility of emotional distress (crying)
Cry all you like
Encouraging the expression of emotions, though indicating it won't change anything
But it don't change a thing
Asserting that crying won't bring about a change in the situation
Don't change a thing
Reaffirmation that emotional expression won't result in change
You can cry all your like
Continued acknowledgment of the possibility of crying
Cry all you like
Encouragement to cry, with the understanding that it won't alter the circumstances
But it don't change a thing
Reiteration that crying won't have an impact on the situation
Don't change a thing
Emphasizing the ineffectiveness of crying in bringing about change
'Cause I saw you with another guy
Revelation of witnessing the partner with another person (repeated)
I saw you with another guy
Confirmation of seeing the partner with someone else (repeated)
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
Describing the scene of the partner holding hands and kissing another person (repeated)
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Reiteration of witnessing the partner with another person (repeated)
'Cause I saw you with another guy
Revelation of witnessing the partner with another person (repeated)
I saw you with another guy
Confirmation of seeing the partner with someone else (repeated)
Yeah, I saw you with another guy
Reiteration of witnessing the partner with another person (repeated)
Holding hands, kissing eye to eye
Describing the scene of the partner holding hands and kissing another person (repeated)
You can say what you want
Repetition of the idea that expressing opinions won't change anything
Say what you want
Continued emphasis on the lack of impact from expressing opinions
But it won't change a thing
Reiteration that expressing opinions won't result in change
Won't change a thing
Emphasizing the futility of expressing opinions
You can say what you want
Repetition of the idea that expressing opinions won't change anything
Say what you want
Continued emphasis on the lack of impact from expressing opinions
But it won't change a thing
Reiteration that expressing opinions won't result in change
