[Repeat: x2]
If you see my friend,
Doesn't matter where or when,
Tell me if you see Kay,
Tell me if you see Kay.

She said I won the battle but I lost the war,
And now my head is sore,
And if I try sail back in,
Shes gon' push me from the shore,
Now I won't ever get the time of day,
No way, no way, no
Now for what I said,
But for what I didn't say [Repeat: x2]
So

[Chorus]
If you see kay
Will you tell her that I love her
If you see kay
Let her know I want her back
If she listens
Say I'm missing everything about her
Make sure you say, I'm sweet FA
Without her
If you see kay

She got me saying sorry through the door,
She don't care anymore,
She says its too late now,
Should have thought of this before,
But I ain't gonna take this as defeat,
No way No way no,
Cos I'm gonna shout it out to everyone,
Everyone I meet

[Chorus]

Now I'm sitting here in disbelief,
At how it truly broke my heart to have to watch her leave,
But she was torn between what she wants and what she needs,
They say you love someone enough you gotta set them free,
She said that was born to leave this town behind,
Knew the truth but still she looked me in the eyes and lied,
Saying its time to cut the ties,
Time to say goodbye, So she left
But she never never left my, never never left my mind

[Chorus]

    General Comment:I always thought that The Script got their inspiration from Aerosmith's song 'Devil's Got A New Disguise.'

    'If you see Kay, tell her I love her
    She did me in but I'll recover...'

    General Comment:i think this song has a deeper meaning other than just the f.u.c.k. bit
    i think it is two friends fighting and one of them tries to apologize but the other one, "kay" is unforgiving

    General Comment:Loved learning about "sweet FA". Think I will have to incorporate the term. As for Ulysses and Joyce, I just found another reason for me to read that book! I've read other Joyce material, but not that one. It's time! Especially knowing that was where "If you see Kay" came from! Ha!

    General Comment:"One of the catchiest recent iterations of this trope comes from the Irish band the Script, which released its "If You See Kay" on MySpace several years ago. In a recent interview, the band acknowledged its debt to James Joyce—whom they helpfully identify as "a literary god in Ireland"—noting that he used the "If you see kay" gag in Ulysses. The Irish literary god does in fact appear to be the first person to have used this phrase; in Ulysses, Joyce included a bit of doggerel sung by the Prison Gate Girls:

    If you see kay
    Tell him he may
    See you in tea
    Tell him from me.

    In the third line, Joyce manages to encode c unt as well."



    ^ from an online article; that was their inspiration.

    General Comment:"If she listens say I miss her,
    Everything about her"
    I think it's supposed to be:

    "If she listens say I'm missin'
    Everything about her"

    Memory:Someone once posted this song about me (seeing as my name starts with a K) and everytime I hear it, I can't but wonder how I got to matter at all to this person.

    In a more general sense, I guess that it means that this girl was really important to him and she never really seemed to appreciate it and continued to push him away.

    General Comment:I think it's a conversation between two partners, the singer's talking like nothing happened but he really means the wordplay.

    General Comment:sweet f.a. is a British saying, I guess, according to en.wiktionary.org/wiki/…

    It means "nothing"
