Edith Frost - If It Weren't For The Words Lyrics

I'd be writin' now all day
If it weren't for the words
I'd find somethin' to say
If it weren't for the words
It's the words that give me trouble
I'd be alright if it weren't for the words

I could pick up the phone
If it weren't for the words
I could talk all day long
If it weren't for the words
It's the words that make me stumble
I'd be doin' alright
If it weren't for the words

But I got nothin'
Stuck without a thought in my head
Drummin' my fingers against the table
Tappin' on my cigarette

You could never tell a lie
If it weren't for the words
Or say good-bye
If it weren't for the words
It's the words that always hurt me
I'd be doin' alright
If it weren't for the words

But I got nothin'
Haven't got a thought in my head
Drummin' my fingers on the table
Tappin' on my cigarette

You could never tell a lie
If it weren't for the words
Or sing a sad good-bye
If it weren't for the words
It's the words that come to nothin'
I'd be doing alright
If it weren't for the words

Yeah, I'd be alright
If it weren't for the words

I'd be feelin' just fine
If it weren't for the words
