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 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 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 (1)__________________ 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 (2)____________ 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 introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' (3)____________ 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 people 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 (4)__________ for me
To mention the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Now (5)____________ 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 Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
I built a bridge (6)____________ the stream my consciousness
It always (7)__________ 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 (8)________________ to take a dive
Into the deep end of my head
Are you (9)__________________ to a (10)____________ 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 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
(Ah la la la la)
I'm all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Stickin' with the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's) fall back in love
For the Mister A to Z they say
Is all about the wordplay
