Song Lyrics

"You Told Them Exactly What I Didn t Say"

by Terry Scott Taylor
Album: John Wayne

You told them exactly what I didn't say, exactly how I haven't said it,
You played them exactly what I didn't play, exactly how I didn't play it,
You wrote down exactly what I didn't write, exactly how I didn't write it,
You typed in exactly what I didn't type, exactly how I didn't type it.

Guess what's good for the money is good for the soul, and I'm tempted to fill the credibility hole,
You might be my model 'cause you're on a roll,
If I were to decide to go for a ride on your noblest lie, would you be my guide to riches and paradise'

You told them exactly what I didn't say, exactly how I haven't said it,
You played them exactly what I didn't play, exactly how I didn't play it.

You're a genuine imitation, a virtual variation, an approximate simulation,
With your eyes flashing bright like an angel of light,
Oh, the power and the might,
There are no words for the sight except "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."

You deserve appreciation for having served the nation and to lend your representation to philistines like me, too naive to see it's a jungle out there.

You wrote down exactly what I didn't write, exactly how I didn't write it,
You typed in exactly what I didn't type, exactly how I didn't type it.

You're a genuine imitation, a virtual variation, an approximate simulation,
With your eyes flashing bright like an angel of light,
Oh, the power and the might,
There are no words for the sight except "tactful, tactful, tactful."

You told them exactly what I didn't say, exactly how I haven't said it,
You played them exactly what I didn't play, exactly how I didn't play it.

You told them exactly what I didn't say.
