Whatcha Say

Jason DeRulo · NRJ Hit List 2010 [2010]

[Chorus]

Wha- wha- what did you say

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

Of course it is



[Verse 1]

I was so wrong for so long

Only trying to please myself

Girl, I was caught up in her lust

When I don't really want no one else

So, now I know I should have treated you better

But me and you were meant to last forever



[Hook]

So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance)

To really be your man

Cause when the roof came in and the truth came out

I just didn't know what to do

But when I become a star we'll be living so large

I'll do anything for you

So tell me girl



[Chorus]

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say)

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

Of course it is

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say)

wha-wha-wha- did she say



[Verse 2]

How, could I live with myself

Knowing that I let our love go (love go)

And ooh, when I do with one chance

I just gotta let you know

I know what I did wasn't clever

But me and you we're meant to be together



[Hook]

So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance)

To really be your man

Cause when the roof came in and the truth came out

I just didn't know what to do

But when I become a star we'll be living so large

I'll do anything for you

So tell me girl



[Chorus]

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

Of course it is

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)

Wha- wha- wha- wha- what did she say



[Verse 3]

Girl, tell me whatcha said (said)

I don't want you to leave me

Though you caught me cheatin'

Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)

I really need you in my life

Cuz things ain't right, girl

Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)

I don't want you to leave me

Though you caught me cheatin'

Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)

I really need you in my life

Cuz things ain't right



[Hook]

Cause when the roof came in and the truth came out

I just didn't know what to do

But when I become a star we'll be living so large

I'll do anything for you

So baby watcha say!



[Chorus]

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

Mmm that you only meant well?

Well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say, (whatcha say, whatcha say)

Wha- wha- wha- wha- what did she say
