Jason Mraz - Wordplay lyrics

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
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

Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
(Ha la la la la la)
It's all about the wordplay
Ha 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 Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

When 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 write me off
Like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to
Keep from going under pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for
Me to mention the wordplay

Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
(Ha la la la la la)
It's all about the wordplay
Ha 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 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 going
Oh, the rhyming and the timing
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're coming 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?

Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the words I say
(Ha la la la la la)
I'm stickin' to the wordplay
Ha 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 Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
(Ha la la la la la)
I'm stickin' to the wordplay
Ha la la la, love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
Of the ooh's and ah's and the fa
La la's I'm back in love
Yeah, the Mister A to Z
They say it's all about the wordplay
