Soft Sounding Music (mono single version)

[Verse 1]
Well, I used to play guitar 'til my fingers used to bleed
I listened to the music of B.B. King and Lightnin' Jimmy B
And through the years I found out that it's not how loud you play
It's the way you play, the way you say just what you gotta say

[Chorus]
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me

[Verse 2]
Well, we used to sing like fools, and the seaside was our stage
Johnny was a-rockin' in every dump from Jersey to L.A
And some folks they like peaches and others they like pears
But I just figure that to each his own, if it's groovy, then who cares?

[Chorus]
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I like soft talkin' girls and music to be heard
It makes a conversation with those quiet little words
I never seem to get enough of what I like to hear
I like easy-talkin' girls when they whisper in my ear

[Chorus]
And if it's soft soundin' music
That's the kind to set me free
'Cause if it's soft soundin' music
That's the only kind for me
