What is the lyrics of Wordplay by Jason Mraz?

Answer 1

I've been all around the world

I've been a new sensation

But it doesn't really matter

In this ge-generation

The sophomore slump is an uphill battle

And someone said that ain't my scene

'Cause they need a new song

Like a new religion

Music for the television

I can't do the long division

Someone do the math

For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer

Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure

So I drop my top,

Mix and I mingle

Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Ha La La La La

L-listen closer to the verse I lay

Ha La La La La

It's all about the wordplay

Ha La La La love

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because

I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah The Mr. A to Z

They say I'm all about the wordplay

When it's time to get ill I got your remedy

For those who don't remember me

Well let me introduce you to my style

I try to keep a jumble And the lyrics never mumble

When the music's makin' people tongue-tied

You want a new song

Like a new religion

Music for the television

I can't do the long division

Someone do the math

For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder

Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

Pull out the stops,

Got your attention

I guess it's time again for me to mention

The wordplay

Ha La La La La

L-listen closer to the verse I lay

Ha La La La La

It's all about the wordplay

Ha La La La love

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because

I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah The Mr. A to Z

They say I'm all about the wordplay

Well I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness

That always seems to be a flowin'

But I don't know which way my brain is goin'

Oh the rhymin' and the timin'

Keeps the melodies inside me

And they're climbin'

'Till I'm running out of air

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head

Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Ha La La La La

Listen closer to the words I say

Ha La La La La

I'm Stickin' with the wordplay

Ha La La La Love

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because

I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah The Mr. A to Z

They say I'm all about the wordplay

Ha La La La Love

I'm all about the wordplay

Ha La La La Love

I'm stickin' with the wordplay

Ha La La La Love

I love the wonderful thing it does

Because, because of

The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love

For the Mr. A to Z they say

is all about the wordplay
