It Doesn't Matter How I Say It (it's What I Say That Matters)

Florence Ballard


If I were a candy dish, I'd wanna be the one you keep your sweets in, my sweet man
And if I were a lamp, I'd wanna be the one you turned on every night, ooh ooh baby
And if I were a bank, I'd wanna hold all your deposits
And if I were a rose, I might be growing in your garden

Baby, this ain't nothin' new that I'm sayin' to ya, no
It's just another way of tellin' you that I love you
Doesn't matter how I say it (doesn't matter how I say it),
It's what I say that matters (it's what I say that matters)
And I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn't matter how I say it
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn't matter how I say it

If I were a pillow babe, I'd wanna be the one
You rest your head on, and dream on
And if I were a mountain reachin' high
I'd wanna be the one you climb, ooh ooh baby
And if I were a pipe, I'd wanna be the one you're smokin'
And if I were a place, I'd wanna be the place your goin'
I love you, oh
I love you, love you, love you boy, doesn't matter how I say it
