Wordplay by Jason Mraz
I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
The sophomore slump
Is an (1)____________ battle
And someone said (2)________ ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new (3)________________ music
For the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf
Up in the freezer
Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle
Is (4)__________________ ready for the (5)____________ 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 (6)__________ 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
And it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me (7)__________________ you to my style
I try to (8)________ a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion music
For the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the (9)____________ write me off
Like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time (10)__________ for me
To mention the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Now listen closely to the (11)__________ I lay
(Ah la la la la)
It's all (12)__________ the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The wonderful (13)__________ 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 (14)__________ the wordplay
I built a bridge across the (15)____________ my consciousness
It (16)____________ seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
(Oh) the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the (17)________________ (18)____________ me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Are you (19)________________ to take a dive
Into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single (20)________ 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
(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)

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