They Say
Boyz 'N' Girlz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there someone else you want?
Are you playing with my heart?
That's what they say, they say
The word is out on you
Heard you're out there doing your do
That's what they say, they say
How do I begin?
I heard it from a friend
Said they saw you with some other girl
And baby only you can tell me the truth
Someone's lying don't let it be you
(Rina & Criss)
If you've got it in your heart that you want to be free
(Criss)
Be a man, lemme know
Don't make a fool outta me
(All)
A little birdie told me that you were on your out
(Criss)
You can just fly away 'cause the word is out
CHORUS
(Daniel)
I'm getting tired of what I'm feeling
Rumors going around just what I was fearing
Tell me the truth do you like it with two?
But I don't live to play, so baby be on your way
(All)
Easy come, easy go if I gotta let you know
(Robbie)
That won't be too hard, baby if you've been untrue
(All)
Is your love just too much to give only to me, girl?
(Robbie)
If it's so, I gotta move on
I'm leaving your world
[CHORUS]
The song "They Say" by Boyz 'N' Girlz is about the fear of infidelity in a relationship. The lyrics are confronting a partner with the rumors that they are cheating on them. The chorus questions if there is someone else that the partner wants, and if they are merely playing with the other person's heart. The second verse continues with the confrontation as the singer expresses their disappointment in their partner's alleged actions.
The lyrics of the first verse are sung by Rina, and she heard from a friend that her partner was seen with someone else. She urges her partner to tell the truth as she does not want to be made a fool. The second part of the verse is sung by Criss. He advises his partner to be truthful and show that he is a man, instead of playing with someone’s emotions. The other band members chime in in the chorus, stating that the word is out on the partner's alleged infidelity, and they can leave if they want to.
The overall theme of the song is trust and honesty. Infidelity can be a hard subject to broach, and the song paints the picture of the partners confronting the rumors head-on. It also encourages individuals to be upfront about their intentions and not lead their partner on if they want to explore other options.
