This song was created for the the 80's challenge on SoundClick. It was meant to be an eighties type of reggae song, but maybe it was hit by bus carrying some other influences along the way?

Story behind the song
This song was created for the the 80's challenge on SoundClick. I set out to make an eighties type reggae song, but I think I forgot about the decade here and there. Hope you like it. Cheers Holger.
Lyrics
Words can make you cry and words can make you smile again.
When you hear a lie, it’s the truth you’re longing for.
If you hear and understand, then I’ll be - a happy man.
I don’t tell no twisted tales – I say it as it is:
Words can make you cry, words have a power of their own.
Even far away, you can make somebody cry on the phone.
The right words – at the right time, can make you feel so fine.
A meaning that was misunderstood, made you think that I was no good.
When the words came out my mouth, they were big and strong and proud,
But when you sent them back, like a sneak attack, like a leather strap, dancing on my back, I had a heart attack, everything went black, cause you didn’t hold back, it was whack, whack, whack, as my bones did crack, and my words came back..
All the lies I told you, about how I would hold you
But it was meant to be, cause you wanted to see, all the good in me, not the demons and the devils and the monsters in me, not the liar and coward, not the loser just the winner, not the sinner, just the saint, will you listen to me please, listen to the words I say, listen hard, listen good, even though it’s understood – that:
Words can make you cry and words can make you smile again.
When you hear a lie, it’s the truth you’re longing for.
If you hear and understand, then I'll be a happy man.
I don’t tell no twisted tales – I say it as it is: Ha ha ha..
