Say what you wanna say lyrics

Say what you wanna say

words and music: © Irene Bom

1. The queen approached the city gates
All excited she couldn’t wait to meet the king
She’d been told amazing things about him
The king took charge as she arrived
All keyed up, he felt so alive
This is what he said as he welcomed her in:

CHORUS:
Dear Sheba, you’ve come a long way
I’m so honoured to have you to stay
Don’t let formality get in the way
Just say what you wanna say

2. The queen was pleasantly surprised
So much beauty before her eyes – so it was true
This royal rendezvous was worth pursuing.
The king took her on a tour -
Attentive as a paramour
Out and out disarmed by her fresh point of view.

(Repeat Chorus)

3. The royals talked all through the night
Animated, their eyes shone bright – so much to say
Both of them excelling in their own way.
Naturally the king was wise -
But somehow he could not disguise
This queen of queens held him under her sway.

LAST CHORUS:
Sheba baby, Sheba baby
We are soul mates and I do appreciate you coming
But I want you to stay: I want a replay
Dear Sheba, there must be a way
What can I do to tempt you to stay?
Don’t let formality get in the way
Just say what I want to hear – say you’ll stay.

Theme: Solomon
