Talkin’ Loud and Sayin’ Nothing James Brown

[Chorus]
Like a dull knife
Just ain't cutting
Just talking loud
Then saying nothing
Just saying nothing
Just saying nothing

[Verse 1]
You can't tell me how to run my life down
You can't tell me how to keep my business sound
You can't tell me what I'm doing wrong
When you keep jiving and singing that same old funny song
You can't tell me which way to go
'Cause three times seven, huh, and then some more
You can't tell me, hey

[Chorus]
You're like a dull knife
Just ain't cutting
You're just talking loud
And saying nothing
Just saying nothing, what?
Just saying nothing

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me how to do my thing
When you can't, can't, can't do your own
Don't tell me how to be a boy
When, when you know I'm grown
Can't use me like a woman
When she throws away her dress, ha, uh!
And you can't tell me, hey, haha
How to use my mess
