Wordplay by Jason Mraz
I've been all around the world
I've (1)________ a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
The sophomore slump
Is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion music
For the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the (2)____________ (3)__________ (4)________ me on the shelf
Up in the freezer
Got to find another way to (5)________ the (6)________ of leisure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes…
(Ah la la la la)
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
(Ah la la la la)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
Yeah the (7)____________ A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
And it's time to get ill I got (8)________ remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me (9)__________________ you to my style
I try to (10)________ a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble

Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me
To (14)______________ the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Now (15)____________ closely to the verse I lay

The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
(Oh) the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies (16)____________ me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to (17)________ a dive
Into the deep end of my head
Are you (18)__________________ to a single word I've said
(Ah la la la la)
Listen closely to the words I say
(Ah la la la la)
I'm stickin' to the wordplay

Because, because
The (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's) fall back in love
