Things You Say

Whitney Houston

Oh, baby, baby, oh, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh

Such a pleasure loving you
It's all mine
I smile each day away
I feel better knowing you
Ooh, you've got me thinking
It's better to give and take
I don't have to beg you to
You're so good to me
Carries me from day to day

I appreciate the things you do
Ooh, but there's-a one thing
I had to tell you, boy
I dig your actions
But I love the things you say

I listen to the things you say (things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a card, serenade my heart
I listen to the things you say
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a song, serenade me

Lovely letters come from you
At times, I know I don't deserve it
(I know I don't deserve you)
Any weather, you'll come through
Ooh, you've got me gleaming
I feel more than I'm worth
(I feel more than I'm worth it)
You're my treasure
I'll take you over anything that's pleasing on this earth
(Pleasing on this earth)

I appreciate the things you do
But there's-a one thing
I had to tell you, boy
I dig your actions
But I love your words, yeah

I listen to the things you say (to the things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say (things you say, boy) to me, baby
In a poem or a card, serenade my heart
I listen to the things you say (things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me (calling me) oh, oh, oh, oh (oh…)
I listen (I listen) to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a song (in a poem or a song) serenade me

Every word that you say
Makes the day much brighter [speak to my heart]
Melody that you play, I (play)
I hear right away (away)
And my heart is lighter (lighter) [speak to my heart]
Speak to my heart, boy
Ooh, ah

I listen to the things you say
(I listen to the things you say, yeah, hey)
Ooh, you're calling me (ooh, ooh, you're calling me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (oh…uh)
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem (in a poem) or a card (or a card)
Serenade my heart (serenade my heart)
I listen to the things you say (things you say, boy)
Ooh, you're calling me (ooh, you're calling me)
Oh (ooh) oh (oh) oh (ooh) oh (oh, ooh, ah) [oh…]
I listen to the things you say (the things you say, hey)
To me, baby (to me, baby)
In a poem or a song (or a poem) serenade me [oh…yeah]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
