it's how you say it

Singer:al jarreau

callin' all players

don juan

romeo too

don't you turn away

something i say

could keep her faithful and true

used to say

satin

silk and lace

fascinate a pretty face

bet you're life she'll stay

i was stunned

struck dumb y'all

total strangers when she walked away

she told me

it's how you say it

it's all in how you play it

if it's a love i get to feeling it baby

it's how you move me

it's all in how you do me

if it's for real we make a melody down in my soul

callin' all players

don juan

romeo too

please don't turn away

everything i say

is with affection for you

she's in pain

cause' when you hit and run

like you're blind

deaf

and dumb

every dreams' undone

only one way to hold her

be for real before she walks away

it's how you say it

it's all in how you play it

if it's a love i get to feeling it baby

it's how you move me

it's all in how you do me

if it's for real i get a tickle down in my soul

it's how you say it

it's all in how you play it

if it's a love i get to feeling it baby

it's how you move me

it's all in how you do me

if it's for real i get a tickle in the middle

round and round

they all fall down

it's just a losing game when you break it down

it's how you say it

all in how you play it

if it's a love i get to feeling it baby

it's how you move me

it's all in how you do me

if it's for real i get a tickle down in my soul
