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



All alone, I site 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

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, yeah, yeah



Now, go, go go where you want

But don't leave me here forever

You, you, you stay away

So long, dear, I see you never



What can I do, girl, to get through you?

'Cause I love you, baby (baby)

Standing here, baptised in all my tears

Baby, through the years

You know I'm crying

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo



EE-EE-EE.



You got to say, say, say

Got to say, say, say



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



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



What can I do, girl, to get through you?

'Cause I love you, (love you), baby, (baby)

Standign here, baptised in all my tears,

baby, through the years

You know I'm crying

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo



EE-EE-EE.



oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
