[Verse 1]
In the heat of the moment
You could say that you want me
In the heat of the moment
In the heat of the moment
In the heat of the moment
I could tell you that you own me
In the heat of the moment
In the heat of the moment
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never wanna ask of you
Anything that's on my mind
Anything to show that I'm
Livin' just in the moment
No, I never wanna say to you
What I keep inside
'Cause when I think about it
[Chorus]
You don't know me like you say you do
You see it too
No, no, no, baby
You don't know me like you say you do
You see it too
No, no, no, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do
And I don't know, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
Please, don't say you do (Don't say you do)
You say you do
But I don't know, baby
[Verse 2]
When we're out in the open
And I ask you to hold me
I could feel your love only
In the heat of the moment
But in the cold of the mornin'
When I'm beggin' you to show me
You just up and leave me lonely
In the cold of the mornin'
[Pre-Chorus]
And I never wanna ask of you
Anything that's on my mind
Anything to show that I'm
Wanting more than the moment
No, I never wanna say to you
What I keep inside
'Cause what I realized is
[Chorus]
You don't know me like you say you do
You see it too
No, no, no, baby
You don't know me like you say you do
You see it too
No, no, no, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do
And I don't know, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
Please, don't say you do (Don't say you do)
You say you do (Ahh)
But I don't know, baby
[Bridge: Spoken]
You say you do
But what should I do?
Keep lovin' you?
You say you do
You keep lovin' me
But you don't know me
How can it be
You say you do?
[Chorus]
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do
And I don't know, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
Please, don't say you do (Don't say you do)
You say you do
But I don't know, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
You say you do
(You say a lot of things)
And I don't know, baby
You say you do (You say you do)
Please, don't say you do (Don't say you do)
(Ah-hey, ahh)
'Cause I don't know, baby
Say You Do was written by Gianluca Buccellati & Tei Shi.
Say You Do was produced by John Hill.
Tei Shi released Say You Do on Fri Mar 31 2017.
The song started from a basic instrumental idea my friend and collaborator had made. It had the pad synth that carries through the song, and a minimal drum beat. I really loved the feel of the beat, and sat down with it and wrote the song over that. It was one of the fastest I’ve ever written a song...
The inspiration came from feeling like I was in a relationship that was one-sided. Where I was giving myself to someone and trying to be accepted and loved as I was, but I was misunderstood. That feeling also permeated into my feelings towards myself, and other relationships in which I felt like onl...
The process was really fun. When I wrote the song, it surprised me how easily it came out, and it felt like one of the catchiest things I’d written. At first, I was put off by it as it seemed too poppy for the rest of the album at the time, but after a while that started to really excite me. It went...
