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 uphill battle
And (1)______________ (2)________ that ain't my scene
'Cause (3)________ need a new song
Like a new (4)________________ music
For the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the (5)____________ label puts me on the shelf
Up in the freezer
Got to (6)________ another way to live the life of leisure
So I (7)________ 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 (8)__________________ 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
And it's time to get ill I got (9)________ remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me (10)__________________ you to my style

And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song

Someone do the math
For the (11)____________ 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 again for me
To mention the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Now listen (12)______________ 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 Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
It (13)____________ 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 inside me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive
Into the (14)________ end of my head
Are you (15)__________________ 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
(Ah la la la la)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the (16)____________ of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
