Now I'm awake, sleep (Less in June
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, unless you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, then play you will, I pray you will
Don't say you will, you do
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, one day you will, I pray you will
When I grab your neck, I touch your soul
Take off your cool, then lose control
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, you will, you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, if you will, I pray you will
I wish this song would really come true
(I wish this song would really come true
I wish this song, this song could play and could come true
I wish this song, "Say You Will," would come true, I wish this song)
I admit I still fantasize about you, about you
(I admit I, don't say, I admit I, don't say I admit I)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (I admit I, I admit I)
Don't say you will, you will, you will
(Say you will, don't say I, don't say I)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Please say you will, for real, I pray you will
In Trey Songz ft Kanye West's song Say You Will, Trey addresses a former lover who has been making unexpected phone calls as he ponders whether or not to go back to her. He expresses wariness and caution by urging her not to say she will come back unless she really means it. Trey's vulnerability surfaces as he admits to still fantasizing about her, hoping that his dream of rekindling their relationship comes true. The line "when I grab your neck, I touch your soul, take off your cool, then lose control" represents how much the singer wants to please his partner in a romantic sense. The song's lyrics describe the complicated feelings that come with romance and heartbreak, and how difficult it can be to open up to someone new after a painful experience.
The song was first released by Kanye West as the fourth single from his fourth album, 808s & Heartbreak, in 2008. However, Trey Songz covered the song in 2009 as part of his mixtape Anticipation II.
