Whatever You Say

Martina McBride · Hits And More [2012]

you think I'm always making

something out of nothing

saying everything is ok

you've always got an answer

before i ask the question

...whatever you say



now we can change the subject

pretend i never brought it up

same old story anyway

later we can work it out

but right now you're talked out

....yeah whatever you say



*CHOURS*

i know you can hear me

but i'm not sure you're listening

i hear what you're saying

but still there something missing

whether i go whether i stay

right now depends on

whatever you say



you say yes you need me

and no you wouldn't leave me

and this should be enough

to make me stay

and even though i want to

i don't hear i love you

..in whatever you say



*CHOURS*

i know you can hear me

but i'm not sure you're listening

i hear what you're saying

but still there something missing

whether i go whether i stay

right now depends on

whatever you say



oh whether i go whether i stay

right now depends on

..whatever you say



...whatever you say

...whatever you say
