Jason Mraz — Wordplay

[Verse 1] I've been all around the world, I've been a new sensation But it doesn't really matter in this generation The sophomore slump is an uphill battle And someone said that ain't my scene 'Cause they need a new song like a new religion Music for the television I can't do the long division Someone do the math For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure So I drop my top Mix and I mingle Is everybody ready for the single? And it goes... [Chorus] Ha la la la la la Now listen closer to the verse I lay (Ha la la la la la) It's all about the wordplay Ha la la la, love The wonderful thing it does Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's Yeah, the Mister A to Z They say I'm all about the wordplay [Verse 2] When it's time to get ill, I got your remedy For those who don't remember me Well, let me introduce you to my style I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble When the music's makin' people tongue-tied You want a new song like a new religion Music for the television I can't do the long division Someone do the math For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder Gotta find another way to keep from going under Pull out the stops Got your attention I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay [Chorus] Ha la la la la la Now listen closer to the verse I lay (Ha la la la la la) It's all about the wordplay Ha la la la, love The wonderful thing it does Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's Yeah, the Mister A to Z They say I'm all about the wordplay [Bridge] I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness It always seems to be a flowin' But I don't know which way my brain is going Oh, the rhyming and the timing keeps the melodies inside me And they're coming till I'm running out of air Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head? Are you listening to a single word I've said? [Chorus] Ha la la la la la Now listen closer to the words I say (Ha la la la la la) I'm stickin' to the wordplay Ha la la la, love The wonderful thing it does Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's Yeah, the Mister A to Z They say I'm all about the wordplay Ha la la la la la Now listen closer to the verse I lay (Ha la la la la la) I'm stickin' to the wordplay Ha la la la, love I love the wonderful thing it does Because, because Of the ooh's and ah's and the fa-la-la's I'm back in love Yeah, the Mister A to Z They say it's all about the wordplay
