lyrics

Say What I Mean

Scribbling away on the back of a placemat
Getting sentimental – I feel that
If I’m gonna love you, a song is the way
I get to say I love you – say only what I mean to say

It’s ticking you off – making you mad
You’re simply envious, I feel that
You gotta let me sing it to the whole wide world
Believe me baby – you’re the girl to beat all the girls

The ones before you, they got a song
Fifty million fans, well they can’t be wrong
What’s the problem baby? Look me in the eye
Tell me you don’t want one and I’ll cry like I need to cry

‘Cause, if I’m gonna love you
A song is the way I get to say I love you
Say only what I mean to say

Sculpting away – shedding the fat
You get to be symmetrical – feel that
Because I love you, I gave up the meat
Gave up the sugar – eat only what I need to eat

Benching the weights – sweating the mat
Wrestling an Olympian, I feel that
To prove I love you – I need to kick some ass
I got these fists and they’re fast when they need to be fast

‘Cause, if I’m gonna love you
A song is the way I get to say I love you
Say only what I mean to say

Hey, let me finish, it’ll be my last
It’s getting better, yeah I – I feel that
I’m working out so you, you feel this?
When I hold you, well, a kiss won’t be just a kiss

Scribbling away – shedding the fat
Getting sentimentrical – I feel that
If I’m gonna love you, this song is the way
I get to say I love you – say only what I mean

John D. Lamb Detroit, Michigan

Lamb spins a tale of love and woe full of true irony and forlorn humor…Lamb has given us a slice of life in which we find common ground, but is anything but commonplace…
