Songtekst
(Paul McCartney)
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
(Michael)
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 ya dear, you know I'm cryin
oo oo oo oo oo
(Paul)
Now go, go, go, where you want
But dont leave me, here forever
You, you, you, stay away
So long girl, I see ya never
(Michael)
What can I do, girl to get through to you
Cause I love you, baby (baby)
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years, you know I'm cryin
Oo oo oo oo oo
(Paul)
You never ever worry,
And you never shed a tear
(Michael)
You're sayin that, my love aint real
Just look at my face these tears aint dryin
(Paul)
You, you, you can never say
Can never say
That I'm not the one, who really loves you
I pray pray pray, everyday
That you'll see things, girl like I do
(Michael)
What can I do, girl to get through to you
Cause I love you, baby (baby)
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years, you know Im cryin
Oo oo oo oo oo
Say say say...
(Repeat and fade out)
