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
I'm 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-ooh

Go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here forever
And 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 (baby)
Standing here baptized in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

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 every day
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
Baby, through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

You better catch that call, you better catch that call
You better catch that call, oh yeah
You better catch that call, you better catch that call

Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say

Oh, yeah
You better catch that call, you better catch that call

Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say
Ooh-ooh-ooh, say, say, say, come on
Say, say, say
