Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know, baby
I can't understand why you can't express what's on that big, beautiful brain of yours
Check it out
You know what? I need you to V-E-erbalize, my baby
[Verse 2]
I know you got a lot of buttons
Sometimes I just don't know which ones to push
Been said ladies are like an oven
So, it may take a little longer to cook
A man just wants to get to eatin'
See, all he need is just a sprinkle of seasonin'
And what we talkin' about for drinkin'?
The right amount of fat around the meat and let's go
[Verse 3]
What can I do to make it faster (Go)
So that I understand the pain in you?
I ain't got the kind of apparatus (No)
That makes everything I'm looking at see-through
Throwing clues way out my range won't make it better
All these games will just delay us and upset us
Spell it out for me
[Verse 4]
You know just can't read your mind
Why you mad? Use your words
You see how hard I'm tryin'
So, why this game of Jeopardy tonight?
Baby, just verbalize
[Verse 5]
I'll take what's on this mind of yours
For a thousand stacks, I bet on that
You need to make it clear for sure
Why this game of Jeopardy tonight?
V-E-erbalize, my baby
[Verse 6]
I feel you cut me on the low, low
You say you good, but you're really boiling inside
I'm still coming through with positive vibes, though
But you always find a way to say you're dissatisfied
Sometimes you speak another language
Yeah, it's English, but still foreign to me
Forever going through the same shit
To say I should know gives me no clarity (Let's go)
[Verse 7]
What can I do to make it faster (Go)
So that I understand the pain in you?
I ain't got that kind of apparatus (No)
That makes everything I'm looking at see-through
Throwing clues way out my range won't make it better
All these games will just delay us and upset us
Spell it out for me (Don't you know?)
[Verse 8]
You know just can't read your mind
Why you mad? Use your words
You see how hard I'm tryin'
So, why this game of Jeopardy tonight?
Baby, just verbalize
[Verse 9]
I'll take what's on this mind of yours
For a thousand stacks, I bet on that
You need to make it clear for sure
Why this game of Jeopardy tonight?
Sweet baby, just verbalize, do you remember?
[Verse 10]
You see, I can recall
When we used to have an issue, we would take our time
If I took a fall, you had such patience, you were gracious, baby, we had a ball
So, can we get involved in that again?
[Verse 11]
You know just can't read your mind (Can't read it)
Why you mad? Use your words (Can't do it, use them)
You see how hard I'm tryin' (Just how hard I'm tryin')
So, why this game of Jeopardy tonight? (You got all these games, all these games)
Baby, just verbalize
I'll take what's on this mind of yours
For a thousand stacks, I bet on that (I bet on that)
You need to make it clear for sure
Why this game of Jeopardy tonight?
V-E-erbalize, my baby
[Verse 12]
Baby, just say (Communication, baby)
What you wanna say? (You gotta say it, say what's on your mind)
(Stop) Playin' Charades (I can't read your mind, say it)
Talk to me, talk to me (Look, talk to me and I talk back
You gonna say what, you gonna say what?
Look man, like I said
Talk to me, I talk back)
