Speechless
The Isley Brothers · Other Songs - The Isley Brothers
Everything you mean to me
Oh, lady do you believe
How can I express the way
I dream about you night and day
But I didn't prepare a speech
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
Speechless
See, I don't know what to say to you, but
La da da da da da (La da da)
La da da da da da (La da da)
Speechless
Here's a tender melody describin' love
Love
Love, ooh
Turnin' pages, tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
Secret ways to make you mine (Make you mine, all mine)
Lady of desire
And every time I try to speak
Your presence just takes over me
Still I'm not prepared to speak, so lady
La da da da da da (La da da)
La da da da da da (Oh...oh...)
Speechless
Don't know what to say to you, but
La da da da da da (La da da da la da da da)
La da da da da da (La da da la da da)
Here's a tender melody describin' love (Love)
Love (La da la da lda da)
Yeah
Love (Love)
Love (La da da la da da la da da)
Just like ice cream
You're such a treat
I'm like a speaker without a speech
La da da da da da (I don't know what to say)
La da da da da da (I don't know what to do)
But sing "La da da" to you, girl
La da da da da da (La da da da da)
La da da da da da (La da da da da)
I'm speechless, baby, speechless, baby
Whoa...oh...ho...
La da da da da da (Though I had it all together, baby)
La da da da da da (But one look at you)
I lost my train of thoughts, yeah
La da da da da da (La da da da)
La da da da da da (La da da da da)
La da la da da, ooh
