Whitney Houston – Things You Say lyrics
(Oh Baby yeah yeah)
Such a pleasure loving you,
It's all mine
I smile each day away
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

I appreciate the things you do
Ooh but there's one thing
I have to tell you boy
I take your actions
But I love the things you say


Chorus
I listen to the things you say
Ooh you're calling me oh wow
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 wow
I listen to the things you say to me baby
In a poem or a song
Serenade me
Lovely letters come from you
At times, I know I don't deserve you
Any weather, you'll come through
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

I appreciate the things you do
But there's one thing
I have to tell you
I take your actions
But I love your words

Chorus

Every word that you say
Makes the day much brighter
(sweet to my heart)
Melody that you play
I hear right away
And my heart is lighter
(sweet to my heart)
