Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say what you say! Mean what you mean!
Day after day, livin' the dream
Hour after hour, love every bit
Don't ever, no, give in to fear
[Chorus]
Why can't I forget your face?
Why can't I forget it, come on
Why can't I forget your face?
Been down in the squid ink too long!
[Chorus]
Why can't I forget your face?
Why can't I forget it, come on
Why can't I forget your face?
Been down in the squid ink too long!
[Refrain]
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
[Verse 2]
Year after year, hour after hour
Don't ever, no, give up your power
Know what nerves get in the way
Know what you mean, whatever you say
[PreChorus]
Get myself out in the sun
Out in the sun
Get myself out in the sun
Out in the sun
[Chorus]
Why can't I forget your face?
Why can't I forget it, come on
Why can't I forget your face?
Been down in the squid ink too long!
[Chorus]
Why can't I forget your face?
Why can't I forget it, come on
Why can't I forget your face?
Been down in the squid ink too long!
[Outro]
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
Squid ink
Squid ink too long
