Say What You Mean

Say What You Mean 

By Paul McCann

Well there was an old woman as sharp as a pin

at 82 years she was young ,

she was quick with the wit and she could cut you in two

with a flick of the edge of her tongue ,

it was a hard old life had  made her

the way she turned out to be ,

as wise as the night with a thousand

eyes and there’s nothing she cannot see

You better say what you mean

and mean what you  say if you want to talk to her

be aware and take good care

or she’ll  kill you with a stare

wait a minute and I’ll  tell you what ,

to just  remember

She might be just an old woman ,

but don’t think you’re kidding her

If you know what I mean she had heard it before

she had seen it and been there too  ,

she had read it and said it and done it al

before you’d time to think it through ,

she had a way about her

but she kept her distance away,

if you could get close to her,

this is what she’d say .

You better say what you mean

and mean what you  say if you want to talk to me

be aware and take good care ,

you won’t get one over on me,

wait a minute and I’ll  tell you what ,

I’ve got to make you see,

I  might be just an old woman ,

but don’t think you’re kidding me
