Words Lyrics

daddy saw a rainbow, where mamma saw a colored trap
mamma says she's leaving, daddy hears her coming back
rattle, rattle, rattle
battling the whole day through
saying what they don't mean, mixing up a word or two
now who said that I said that you said I'd go
cause deep inside I know
it's not the words, it's the way you say'em
it's not the words, it's where you lay'em

it doesn't really help us to stand behind blue and black
caught between the rails of a train
that ain't rolling back
battle, battle, battle
saying things that we don't feel
trying to get a hold on something that is right and real
now who said that I said that you said I'd go
cause deep inside I know
it's not the words, it's the way you say'em
it's not the words, it's where you lay'em

now who said ...
it's not the words, it's the way you use'em
it's not the words, it's how you abuse'em
it's not the words ...
