[Verse 1]
Oh baby, baby, oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Such a pleasure loving you, it's all mine
I smile each day I wake
I feel better knowing you
Ooh, you've got me thinking
It's better to give than take
I don't have to beg you to
You're so good to me
Carries me from day to day

[Pre-Chorus]
I appreciate the things you do
Ooh, but there's one thing
I have to tell you, boy
I dig your actions
But I love the things you say

[Chorus]
I listen to the things you say (Things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a card, serenade my heart
I listen to the things you say
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a card, serenade me
[Verse 2]
Lovely letters come from you
At times, I know I don't deserve you (Deserve you)
Any weather, you'll come through
Ooh, you've got me gleaming
I feel more than I'm not worth it
You're my treasure
I'll take you over anything
As pleasing on this earth (As pleasing on this earth)

[Pre-Chorus]
I appreciate the things you do
But there's one thing
I have to tell you, boy
I dig your actions
But I love your word

[Chorus]
I listen to the things you say (Things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me, oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby (Things you say, boy)
In a poem or a card, serenade my heart
I listen to the things you say (things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me (Calling me), oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a card, serenade me
[Bridge]
Every word that you say
Makes the day much brighter (Sing to my heart)
Melody that you play
I, I hear right away
And my heart is lighter
Sweet to my heart, boy, ooh

[Chorus]
I listen to the things you say (I listen to the things you say)
Ooh, you're calling me (Ooh, you're calling me), oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby
In a poem or a card (poem or a card), serenade my heart (serenade my heart)
I listen to the things you say (let me just say boy)
Ooh, you're calling me (Ooh, you're calling me), oh, oh, oh, oh
I listen to the things you say to me, baby (The things you say, to me baby)
In a poem or a card, serenade me

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The things you say
