Jason Mraz - Wordplay Lyrics

Send "Wordplay" ringtones to your cell

I've been all around the world 
I've been a new sensation 
But it doesn't really matter in this g-generation 
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle 
And someone said that aint my scene 
Cause they need the 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 

Ah la la la la 
Now listen closely to the verse I lay 
Ah la la la la 
It's all about the wordplay 
Ah 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-Z 
They say I'm all about the Wordplay 

And 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 making 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 going under 
Pull out the stops (pause) 
Got your attention 
I guess it's time again 
For me to mention the Wordplay 

Ah la la la la 
Now listen closely to the verse I lay 
Ah la la la la 
It's all about the wordplay 
Ah 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-Z 
They say I'm all about the Wordplay 

I built the bridge across the stream of consciousness 
It always seems to be a flowing 
But I don't know which way my brain is going 
Oh the rhyming and the timing keeps the melodies inside me 
And they're climbing 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? 

Ah la la la la 
Listen closely to the words I say 
Ah la la la la 
I'm sticking to the wordplay 
Ah 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-Z 
They say I'm all about the Wordplay 

Ah la la la la 
I'm all about the Wordplay 
Ah la la la la 
Sticking with the wordplay 
Ah 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 
I'm back in love 
With the Mr. A-Z 
They say he's all about the wordplay
