Roy Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe you should say less (mmm)
You ain't gotta tell no lie
Baby you can confess (mm)
Hundred fahrenheit in my room
Maybe you should undress
Don't talk say less
(Say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
(Say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
(Say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
(I be, I be, I be)
Fallin' in love with women, I don't know what I see in 'em (I don't, hmm)
More times I be lonely so I don't know what I be feelin'
Gotta do more, say less, how I'm livin', yeah, ah
(B-town, 6 side shit, you know what I'm talkin' about)
Don't talk no more 'cause I know what you do (I know)
Got mans to the side but you say you're alone
Money on sight now your eyes on gold
Can't take your ass shoppin', trippin' on Jimmy Choos
Yeah, said you gonna stay over for the night, but you got me waitin' (waitin')
Barely said a thing, got me in love without conversation, ah, yeah
I feel beside myself, I understand me (understand me)
Had to realign myself or else I would have lost me (would've lost me, would've lost me, woah no)
But I found myself, in my youth (yo)
Time well spent in the booth, oh (in the booth, yeah)
Heard you got a lot to say
Maybe you should say less (less, yeah)
You ain't gotta tell no lie
Baby you can confess ('fess, yeah) (turn it on to me)
Hundred fahrenheit in my room
Maybe you should undress (undress, yeah)
Don't talk say less (don't talk say less, ah)
(Say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
(Say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
Less, yeah (say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
Baby girl, I (say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less, say less)
Baby I, yo yo, mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
Mmm mmm
The song "Say Less" by Roy Woods is about a romantic relationship where the singer expresses his desire for his partner to speak less and show more through actions. He suggests that she should stop talking and just undress because he feels the temperature rising in the room. The lyrics also touch on the theme of falling in love with unfamiliar people, and although they may feel lonely at times, they need to say less and do more to truly live their lives. The chorus repeats the phrase "say less" multiple times to emphasize the central message of the song and create a catchy hook.
The overall vibe of the song is sultry and smooth, mixing elements of R&B, hip-hop, and electronic music. The song features Roy Wood's signature melodic flow, and the production has a slow, trap-like beat with haunting synths and atmospheric effects. "Say Less" was released in 2017 as the lead single from Roy Woods' debut studio album, "Say Less."

MAN there is just something special about Roy Woods!!!! To me I think it is his straight-forwardness - just something in the way the production meets his lyrics, his voice, what he means and feels and lives is super clear to me in all of his tracks. He's awesome. I'm looking forward to his new EP!!
