If It Weren't For The Words

I'd be writing all day, if it weren't for the words
 I'd find something 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 doing alright, if it weren't for the words
 But I've got nothing
 Stuck without a thought in my head
 Drumming my fingers against the table
 Tapping on my cigarette
 You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
 Or say goodbye, if it weren't for the words
 It's the words that always hurt me
 I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
 But I've got nothing
 Haven't got a thought in my head
 Drumming my fingers on the table
 Tapping on my cigarette
 You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
 Or sing a sad goodbye, if it weren't for the words
 It's the words that come to nothing
 I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
 I'd be alright, if it weren't for the words
 I'd be just fine, if it weren't for the words
