Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978. My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.

Story behind the song
One of my Facebook friends posted this in German: "Ich werde immer das sagen was ich denke. Wer die Wahrheit nicht verkraftet soll mir nicht meine Zeit stehlen". Translated, this means: "I will always say what I think. Those who can't handle the truth shouldn't waste my time". I thought, yeah, that is more or less what I believe in so, I wrote a song about myself ... what you see is what you get.
Lyrics
What You See Is What You Get [Verse 1] I don't dress it up or paint it sweet Don't tie my truth in a bow that's neat If it's on my mind, it hits the air No double talk, I play it fair [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, my edge can leave a scar But I don't strike just to raise the bar There's a way to stand and still be kind But I won't stay silent to fall in line [Chorus] What you see is what you get No disguise and no regret I don't play games, don't fake a smile I shoot it straight, and run it wild If you can't take heat, don't fan my flame I won't back down, won't carry shame No disguise and no regret What you see is what you get [Verse 2] It ain't about being cold or cruel It's truth in a world that plays the fool I'd rather be raw than play it safe My voice, my fire, it won't be shaped [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, my edge can leave a scar But I don't strike just to raise the bar There's a way to stand and still be kind But I won't stay silent to fall in line [Chorus] What you see is what you get No disguise and no regret I don't play games, don't fake a smile I shoot it straight, and run it wild If you can't take heat, don't fan my flame I won't back down, won't carry shame No disguise and no regret What you see is what you get [Bridge] Some say I'm sharp, some say I bite But I call it love that stands upright If I burn, it's not pretend I don't fake peace to just fit in [Chorus] What you see is what you get No disguise and no regret I don't play games, don't fake a smile I shoot it straight, and run it wild If you can't take heat, don't fan my flame I won't back down, won't carry shame No disguise and no regret What you see is what you get [Outro] No disguise and no regret What you see is what you get Whoa, what you see is what you get
