"What You Tryin' to Say" is a song that pokes fun at how difficult communication can be sometimes. I wanted to make an upbeat song that encouraged people to say what they think instead of letting negative emotions eat them alive.
I'm sittin' here watching you go insane.
Got no idea what's traveling through your brain.
Let's take it one word at a time.
It shouldn't be this hard to get it off your mind.
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
I'm speaking English not telepathy,
And speaking it is healthy so,
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
Tell me what you're tryin' to say to me now.
All this confusion's driving me insane.
Got no idea what's traveling through my brain.
This situation should be a crime.
It shouldn't be this hard to get you off my mind.
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
I'm speaking English not telepathy,
And speaking it is healthy so,
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
Tell me what you're tryin' to say to me now.
Yeah, ah ah, yeah, ahhh
Yeah, ah ah, yeah

What you tryin' to say to me baby?
I'm speaking English not telepathy,
And speaking it is healthy so,
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
Tell me what you're tryin' to say to me now.
Ohh, what you tryin' to say to me baby?
I'm speaking English not telepathy,
And speaking it is healthy so,
What you tryin' to say to me baby?
Tell me what you're tryin' to say to me now.
