Come On And Say It
Expressing Unspoken Emotions: The Grass Roots' Call to Open Up
Lyrics
What I don't know
Expressing a lack of knowledge
You could tell me
Asking the listener to share information
What I should know
Asking for necessary knowledge
If you'd let me know
Requesting openness in sharing
How you feel
Asking about emotional state
How I love you
Expressing deep affection
What I don't know
Reiteration of not knowing certain things
Couldn't hurt me
Belief that ignorance might not be harmful
But what I could show
Willingness to demonstrate something
If you'd let me know
Requesting permission to share
Just how you feel
Emphasizing the importance of understanding feelings
How I love you
Reiteration of deep affection
Come on & say it
Encouragement to speak up
Sooner or later
Implying the inevitability of needing to express oneself
You're gonna need it
Highlighting the importance of expressing feelings
You've got to make up your mind
Stressing the need to make a decision
You gotta choose
Emphasizing the necessity of making a choice
You're gonna lose everything
Warning of potential loss if no action is taken
Tell me just one good reason
Asking for justification for silence
Why you won't say
Asking why feelings remain unspoken
What you feel inside
Encouraging the listener to let go of pride
Dismiss your pride
Urging honesty and openness
Why don't you tell me
Asking for communication
Come on & say it
Reiteration of encouraging expression
Sooner or later
Emphasizing the inevitability of needing to express oneself
You're gonna need it
Highlighting the importance of expressing feelings
You've got to make up your mind
Stressing the need to make a decision
You gotta choose
Emphasizing the necessity of making a choice
You're gonna lose everything
Warning of potential loss if no action is taken
Come on & say it
Encouraging expression
You're gonna need it
Emphasizing the inevitability of needing to express oneself
Come on & say it
Reiteration of encouraging expression
The sooner the better
Emphasizing the urgency of speaking up
Baby, baby, baby
Repetition of urging the listener to speak
Come on & say it
Repeated encouragement to express oneself
Come on & say it...
Continued emphasis on speaking up
I know you want it...
Recognizing the desire for expression
