You've Got to Mean It Too |
This guy I know was on TV |
Tellin' people how to live |
He sure had a lot to say… |
But not a lot to give. |
Look, those are real fine words… |
Step back and look at what you do. |
You know, it’s not enough to say things… |
You’ve got to mean them, too. |
I heard Laurie sing last night… |
First time in twenty years. |
She sang me all her old songs… |
Near brought me to tears. |
Then she sang straight from the heart… |
Like all great singers do. |
She knows it’s not enough to say things… |
You’ve got to mean them, too. |
It’s a thing you teach your children. |
You know they learn from watching you. |
It’s all in how you do things. |
You’ve got to mean them, too. |
(Guitar, steel) |
It’s a thing you teach your children (etc.) |
I’ll tell you why I wrote this song… |
Folks, I wrote it for my wife. |
She’s always stayed beside me… |
While I played «Blindman's Bluff» with life. |
And ev’ry time we touch or kiss… |
Each time that I say, «I love you.» |
And every time that we make love… |
With all my soul, I mean it, too. |
