Say It Right
Nelly Furtado · The Best of Nelly Furtado [2010]
(Hey)
(You don't mean nothing at all to me)
(Hey, hey)
(Break it, break it down)
In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand
Or you fall
When your will
Is broken
When it slips
From your hand
When there's no
Time for joking
There's a hole
In my plan
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
I can't say (Say)
That I'm not (Not)
Lost (Lost)
And at fault (Fault)
I can't say (Say)
That I don't (Don't)
Love the light (Light)
And the dark (Love the light, dark)
I can't say
That I don't (Don't)
Know that I (Am)
Am alive
And I love
What I feel (Feel)
I could show (Show you)
You tonight, you tonight
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
From my hands
I could give you
Something
That I made
From my mouth
I could sing you
Another bridge
That I made
From my body (From my body)
I could show you (I could show you)
A place (A place)
God knows (That only God knows)
You should know
Space is holy (Ahh...)
Do you really
Wanna go?
(Hey, hey, hey)
(You don't mean nothing at all, to me)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(You don't mean nothing at all, to me)
