What Do You Say lyrics by Reba Mcentire
Title : What Do You SayArtist : Reba
Intro
1. Strophe
Stuck at a red light outside an adult bookstore,
his son said, "Daddy, what are all those X's for"
As light turned green he changed the subject fast,
started talking 'bout football as they drove right past.
1. Refrain
So what do you say in a moment like this,
when you can't find the words, oh, to tell it like it is?
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way,
let's get out of here, oh, what do you say?
2. Strophe
Seventeen years old she was out with her friends,
they started drinking at some party,
'til she was three sheets to the wind.
Her mama always told her she can call no matter what,
she was crying on the front steps when her mom showed up.
2. Refrain
What do you say in a moment like this,
when you can't find the words, oh, to tell it like it is?
Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way,
let's get out of here, oh, what do you say?
Bridge
Sometimes you got to listen to the silence,
and give yourself a little time to think.
3. Strophe
Her every breath is weaker than the last,
and lately when she sleeps she talks about the past.
Her husband knows she's tired of holding on,
she looks at him and says "I want to go home."
3. Refrain
What do you say in a moment like this,
when you can't find the words to tell it like it is?
Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way,
oh, what do you say?
Coda
Oh, just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way,
oh, what do you say?
ooh, what do you say?
