"What I'd Say" is a song written by Robert Byrne and Will Robinson, and recorded by American country music artist Earl Thomas Conley. It was released in October 1988 as the third single from his album The Heart of It All. The song was Conley's seventeenth number one country single. The single went to number one on the U.S. and Canadian country charts and spent a total of fourteen weeks on the U.S. country chart.[1]
The song talks of a man holding imaginary conversations with the woman who'd left him, rehearsing what he might say if he ever ran into her. He doesn't know whether he would express his feelings, compliment her, or tell her to "go to hell." The song concludes by the man stating that his ex-lover would have to wait until the day they meet again to find out what he would say to her.
