Not Unless You Mean It

Robert James

Another simple little one. I tried on a few occasions to just roll tape while sitting in front of a mic with an acoustic and see what happens. Short snippets of lyrics would come out while I was playing the first thing to pop into my head, and once in a while they became songs.

For the lyrics, do you ever have the feeling that someone says something to you so often that what they say loses it’s meaning?

The lead guitar is my Gibson ES 335 Pro, and the rhythm is my Takamine F 400S.

ou say it all the time
do you know what it means
your words have weight for me
do you know what that means

words can be powerful, words can be strong
is there a meaning to what you say

Don’t say it unless you mean it
Don’t say it unless it’s true
