Lyrics
[Intro]
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did you say? (J-J-J-J-J.R.)
[Chorus]
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Jason Derulo)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
[Verse 1]
I was so wrong for so long (Long) (I, wrong)
Only tryna please myself (Myself)
Girl, I was caught up in her lust (Lust) (I, up)
When I don't really want no one else
So no
I know I should have treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever
So let me in (Let me in)
Give me another chance (Another chance)
To really be your man (Oh)
[PreChorus]
'Cause when the roof caved in
And the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star
We'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me, girl
[Chorus]
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did you say?
[Verse 2]
How, could I live? (Live) (How?)
With myself (Self)
Knowing that I let our love go (Love go)
And ooh, what I'd do (Do) (Ooh)
For one chance (Chance)
I just gotta let you know
I know what I did wasn't clever
But me and you were meant to be together
So let me in (Let me in)
Give me another chance (Another chance)
To really be your man (Oh)
[PreChorus]
'Cause when the roof caved in
And the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star
We'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me, girl
[Chorus]
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did you say?
[Bridge]
Girl, tell me what you say, I (Say, I)
I don't want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin'
Tell me, tell me what you say, I (Say, I)
I really need you in my life
'Cause things ain't right, girl
Tell me, tell me what you say, I (Say, I)
I don't want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin'
Tell me, tell me what you say, I (Say, I)
I really need you in my life
'Cause things ain't right
[PreChorus]
'Cause when the roof caved in
And the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do (I just didn't know what to do)
But when I become a star
We'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So, baby, whatcha say
[Chorus]
Mmm, whatcha say
Mmm, that you only meant well?
(Well, of course I did, baby) Well, of course you did
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Mmm, that it's all for the best?
(Well of course it is) Of course it is
[Chorus]
Mmm, whatcha say (What did you say?)
Mmm, that you always meant well?
Well, of course you did (Whoa-oh-oh)
Mmm, whatcha say (Whatcha say, whatcha say)
Wha-wha-wha-wha-what did you say?
