It Doesn't Matter How I Say It (It's What I Say That Matters)
If I were a candy dish, I’d wanna be the one you keep your sweets in,
my sweet man
And if I were a lamp, I’d wanna be the one you turned on every night,
ooh ooh baby
And If I were a bank, I’d wanna hold all your deposits
And If I were a rose, I might be growing in your garden
CHORUS:
Baby, this ain’t nothin’ new that I’m sayin’ to ya, no
It’s just another way of tellin’ you that I love you
Doesn’t matter how I say it (doesn’t matter how I say it),
It’s what I say that matters ( it’s what I say that matters)
And I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it
If I were a pillow babe, I’d wanna be the one you rest your head on,
and dream on
And If I were a mountain reachin' high, I’d wanna be the one you climb,
ooh ooh baby
And if I were a pipe, I’d wanna be the one you're smokin’
And if I were a place, I’d wanna be the place your goin’
(chorus)
I love you, oh
(repeat & fade):
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn’t matter how I say it
Well, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Yes, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can’t think of anything but you
And I think I’m goin’ out of my head
'Cause I can’t explain the tears that I shed
Over you
Over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk pass me
You don’t even know that I exist
Goin’ out of my head, (my head) over you (out of my head)
Out of my head (my head) over you (out of my head)
Out of my head, day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right
I must think of a way into your heart
There’s no reason why my bein' shy
Should keep us apart
And I think I’m goin’ out of my head (out of my head)
Yes, I think I’m goin’ out of my head (out of my head)
Goin’ out of my head, (my head) over you (out of my head)
Out of my head (my head) over you (out of my head)
Out of my head, day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right
Day and night and night, day and night,wrong or right
...& fade
Oh what good is this love in my heart?
A heart aint a heart until you share it
So come on, let me share it with you
Do all the things I've been longin' to
CHORUS:
Oh a bell ain't a bell until you ring it
A song ain't a song until you sing it
Baby, life ain't life until you live it
& love ain't love until you give it, no no no
Ooo what good would it do me to dream of your kiss?
A kiss ain't a kiss until you feel it
So come on, let me kiss your lips
Light all aglow with the thrill I miss
(chorus)
Ooo what good would it do me to wish you were mine?
Mine ain't mine until I got it
So come on, tell me you’ll be mine
Right now, babe, stop wastin' time
(repeat chorus & fade)
Memories of the love we had are still a part of me
I pushed your love away and knew that one day
I would yearn for your return
CHORUS:
Forever Faithful, yes I am
I guess my love will live for you
Just wishin’ and hopin’ for your return
Now I’m all alone, it hurts to be alone
Won’t you please come see about me?
This time I’ll do right, need you to hold me tight
Darling, you, you control my destiny
Oh oh oh
(chorus)
(instrumental)
On and on, deep down inside, I have no one but myself to blame
I have but one wish, that you return, conquer the love that remains
Oh oh oh
(chorus x2)
(repeat title & fade)
