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, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah, yeah
Now go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away
So long girl, I see you never
What can I do
Girl to get through to you?
Cause I love you, baby
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
Baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh
(You've got to say, say, say)
(You've 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 everyday
That you'll see things, girl, like I do
What can I do girl, to get through to you?
Cause I love you, baby (I love you, baby)
Standing here, baptized in all my tears
But baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
