Wordplay by Jason Mraz

I've been all (1)____________ 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 (2)______________ (3)________ that ain't my scene
'Cause they (4)________ 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 live the (5)________ of leisure
So I (6)________ my top
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody (7)__________ for the single and it goes…
(Ah la la la la)
Now listen closely to the (8)__________ I lay
(Ah la la la la)
It's all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The (9)__________________ 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

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 (10)__________ mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You (11)________ 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 (12)________ 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 (13)____________ 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 (14)__________ is goin'
(Oh) the ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the (15)________________ inside me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to (16)________ 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 stickin' to the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
The (17)__________________ (18)__________ 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 (19)__________ the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
I'm all about the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
Stickin' with the wordplay
(Ah la la la la)
I (20)________ the (21)__________________ thing it does
Because, because
The (ooh's) and (ah's) and (fa-la-la's) (22)________ back in love
For the Mister A to Z (23)________ say
Is all about the wordplay
