[Verse 1]
Scottie do you think I can sing?
Do you… maybe… think I'm something?
I think I’m nothing..
I don't know if I'm white or black
In fact/I think I may/be gray
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
What do you say?
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
[Verse 2]
I don’t know if I'm ready to be a colour, lover
Scottie, what are you thinkin'?
Did I start to sink in?
Counting down from five
I'm a lie, I'm alive
Five, four, three
Scottie don't fall for me..
Scottie, please fall in love with me
[Verse 3]
But not the me that you see pretending to be
The next big thing, the only thing
That something that'll make you smile
Scottie, do I make you smile?
Scottie, will you stay a while?
[Verse 4]
Is this another tribulation
Or should I start the celebration?
Oh… I know… my soul starts to show
Oh… you know… I'm faking it. I’m full of sshhh—hush now
Listen, Scottie, do you hear my heart beat?
Did you hear my heart skip a beat?
Now listen to it—STOP
You make me stop; you can make my heart stop
[Verse 5]
Scottie do you think I can sing?
Do you… maybe… think I’m something?
I think I'm nothing…
I don’t know/if I'll go/away, in fact I think I may just stay…
Scottie, what do you say, boy?
