(Paul)
Say, say, say what you want
But don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take 1 you need
But don't leave me with no direction

(Michael)
All alone
I sit 2 by the phone
Waiting for you, baby (baby)

Through the years
How can you stand to hear
My 3 for you, dear?
You know I'm cryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, 4

(Paul)
Now go, go, go where you want
But don't leave me here 5
You, you, you stay away
So long, girl, I see you never

(Michael)
What can I do
Girl, to get 6 to you
'Cause I love you, baby (baby)

Standing here 7 in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I'm 8 '
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Hee-hee-hee
Say, say, say
Got to say, say, say

(Paul)
You never ever 9
And you never shed a tear

(Michael)
You're sayin' that my love ain't real
Just look at my face
These tears ain't dryin'

(Paul)
You, you, you can never say
That I'm not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day
That you'll see things, girl, like I do

(Michael)
What can I do
Girl, to get through to you?
'Cause I love you (love you) baby (baby)

Standing here baptized in all my tears
Baby, through the years
You know I'm cryin'
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hee-hee-hee (hee-hee-hee)
