"It's such a complicated story, way too complex to write a song about. I should never have done it. I was really afraid of alcohol at the time. I didn't drink till I was 21, not even a sip. I was petrified of alcohol. "Say it ain't So" was about when I was 16. I opened up the refrigerator and I saw a can of beer. All of a sudden I made the connection that my step-father was leaving...because my father started drinking when he left my mother."
straight from the man himself. so quit yer whinin'

You must never believe what artists say about their art: it's all bullshit.
This song oozes sensuality from every pore, it's a (heavily) sexual metaphor from top to bottom.
And I add: fortunately. It would be terrible if the meaning was as stupid as Cuomo would have you believe.

@Aryanna2378 this is the dumbest and most pretentious shit I've read in a while. Look at you, knowing better what the song is about than the guy who actually wrote it.

@SweetSuz00 Damn. No wonder it's my fav on the album. Glad it was written, not that it happens.
