So they say practice makes you perfect
So they say you can't touch me oh no
So they say that can happen
So they say better safe than sorry
That's what they always say
And when I swore it's down
It's clear just how
It's what they don't say
That's what counts
Deep down (what counts)
Step off step out
So they say practice makes you perfect
So they say you can't touch me oh no
So they say that can happen
So they say better safe than sorry
That's what they always say
And when I swore it's down
It's clear just how
It's what they don't say
That's what counts
It's counting
And be sure it counts
So they say you can't touch me oh no
So they say that can happen
So they say better safe than sorry
That's what they always say
And when I swore it's down
It's clear just how
It's what they don't say
That's what counts
Deep down (what counts)
Step off step out
So they say practice makes you perfect
So they say you can't touch me oh no
So they say that can happen
So they say better safe than sorry
That's what they always say
And when I swore it's down
It's clear just how
It's what they don't say
That's what counts
It's counting
And be sure it counts

This is being labeled as a "lyric correction," but assuming I have gotten the lyrics mostly correct here the song is a pretty clear statement against people who just spout cliches, aphorisms, and maxims (the first four lines, plus the idea that everyone knows what "they" say). It's is saying that if you really believe in something you should show it with action ("step up" and "it counts in how you show it counts"), not words. Only action gives your opinion meaning.
Here you go:
So they say practice makes you perfect
So they say you can't teach an old dog
So they say have an apple a day
So they say better safe than sorry
Everyone knows what they say...
And when I slow it down it's clear
just how it's what they don't say that's
what counts...
Deep down...
Deep down (what counts)
Deep down (what counts & say what)...
Step up, step up, step up, step up
Step out, step out, step out, step out
So they say practice makes you perfect
So they say you can't teach an old dog
So they say have an apple a day
So they say better safe than sorry
Everyone knows what they say...
And when I slow it down it's clear
just how it's what they don't say that's
what counts
it counts in how you show it counts...
it counts, it counts
i'm counting...
it counts in how you show it counts...
it counts, it counts
i'm counting...
My latest hearing of the last lyric is:
"It's counting. I'll be sure it counts."
Glad I'm just commenting on my own comment and not bothering anyone else!
