Wordplay by Jason Mraz

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this 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
Got to find another way to (1)________ 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 (2)____________ closely to the verse I lay
(Ah la la la la)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The (3)__________________ thing it does
Because, because
I am the (4)____________ of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
Yeah the Mister A to 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 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 (5)__________ 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
(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 la)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
(Oh) the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Are you (6)________________ to take a dive
Into the (7)________ 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 stickin' to the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's)
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
I'm all (8)__________ the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Stickin' with the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's) fall back in love
For the Mister A to Z they say
Is all about the wordplay
