Say it Right

Nelly Furtado's "Say it Right" always makes me laugh. Not because it's funny, but it's because I can't make out the lyrics. And whatever I CAN make out, doesn't make any sense! I've been wanting to write about this for some time now, and finally managed to squeeze some time in to tell you what I hear. This is what I make of the lyrics:

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it on
Either you got it or you don't
If you stand on your phone
And your will is it broken
When you slip from my hand
And there is no time for joking
There is old in the can

Oh you don't need no nothing at all from me
Oh you don't need no nothing at all from me
Oh you don't want to take it sit for free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can say is that I mind that I'm lost on the phone
I can say that I don't love you like any guard
I can say that I don't know that I am alive
And I love what I feel I can show you my night (you my night)

Chorus

From my hands I could give you somethin' that I made
From my bowels I can sing you another Brit that I made
From my body I can show you a play God knows
You should no space is holding, do you really wanna go?

Okay, now here are the real lyrics:

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
You either got it or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is all broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean no-nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean no-nothing at all to me
But, you got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean e-everything to me

I can't say that I’m not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don’t love the light and dark
I can't say that I don’t know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight

Chorus

From my hands I could give you, something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another bridge that I made
From my body I can show you a place
God knows
You should know this place is holy, do you really wannna go?
