Say Say Say
Kygo Lyrics

Say, say, say what you want
Express your desires, however, be true to me and don't manipulate my feelings.

But don't play games with my affection
Do not toy with my emotions or use them for your own pleasure.

Take, take, take what you need
Take what you require, but do not leave me in a state of confusion or chaos.

But don't leave me with no direction
Do not abandon me without a sense of clarity or a way forward.

All alone
Being without company or support

I sit home by the phone
Sitting at home waiting for a phone call from a loved one

Waitin' for you, baby (baby)
Anticipating someone's arrival or contact, as a term of endearment

Through the years
Over a protracted period of time

How can you stand to hear
How can you handle or endure listening to

My pleadin' for you dear?
The fervent or urgent request for someone's love and attention

You know I'm cryin', ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your awareness of my emotional pain and waterworks

Yeah, yeah
A term for agreement or confirmation

Now go, go, go where you want
Pursue the path you desire to travel

But don't leave me here forever
Do not desert me indefinitely or for an extended period

You, you, you stay away
As a plea, asking someone to remain distant

So long, girl, I see you never
An expression of permanent departure or goodbye

What can I do
Asking for solutions or guidance

Girl, to get through to you?
How can I reach or enlighten you to my feelings

'Cause I love you, baby
An explanation for the strong feelings of endearment and affection shown towards someone specified

Standin' here
Present and stationary in the current location

Baptized in all my tears
Immersed in the tears shed as a result of the pain experienced

Baby, through the years
The agony caused and endured for a prolonged period

You know I'm cryin', ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Your recognition of the emotional distress and tears shed
