Lyrics David Gates

David Gates

It's What You Say

If you wanta rock me, do it gently

Stroke me with style, don't beat me half to death

Just 'cause you got a big amplifier

That don't mean you always gotta crank it higher

It isn't how loud you play-it's what you say

It you wanta soul me don't get down too funky

You get too low your message won't get through

Tryin' to get the words is aggravatin'

Especially when the singer ain't enunciatin'

It isn't how loud you play-it's what you say

And if you wanta sing of love don't make it silly

Tell it like you feel,but don't add nothin' else

When the tour's over and you're home at last

Squeeze your old lady,but make her last

It isn't how loud you play-it's what you say
