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 sit 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, yeh, yeh. 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 to 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 to you? 'Cause I love you, (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. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, You got to say, say, say. Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. <以降後奏>
