歌词：

Song：Say It Right
Artist：Nelly Furtado

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 broken
When it slips¹ from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
Oh you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean 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 the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonite you tonite

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

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth
I could sing you another brick² that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy³
Do you really want to go?
