Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
But don't leave me with no direction
[Verse 2]
All alone, I sit at home by the phone
Waiting for you, baby (Baby)
Through the years, how can you stand to hear?
My pleading for you, dear, you know I'm crying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away
So long, girl, I see you never
[Verse 4]
What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
I guess I love you, baby (Baby)
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
Baby, through the years, you know I'm crying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]
(You've got to say, say, say)
(Got to say, say, say)
[Verse 6]
You never ever worry
And you never shed a tear
You're saying that my love ain't real
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying
[Verse 7]
You, you, you can never say
That I'm not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl, like I do
[Verse 8]
What can I do, girl, to get through to you?
I guess I love you (Love you), baby (Baby)
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
Oh, baby, through the years, you know I'm crying
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 9]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(You've got to say, say, say)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(You've got to say, say, say)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Why don't you say, say, say?)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
