[Intro] Yeah, baby, listen You know how I am You can drop a thousand hints I'm still your straightforward man [Verse 1] You give me little clues, thinking I can read your mind But they fly right over me, I leave every sign behind You look at me a certain way, you think I understand But I'm standing there confused, just being who I am You say you dropped a hint, baby, how was I to know? You planted little signals, but they never reached my soul I ain't trying to ignore you, never trying to get it wrong I just need you to be clear, that's how I've been all along [Pre-Chorus] And when you tell me afterwards "Baby, I gave you all the clues" My mind starts going in circles Thinking of what I didn't do I hate that I can miss the signs When all I want is getting it right So please don't leave me guessing When you can tell me outright [Chorus] Baby, whisper it in my ear Tell me what you want me to hear No little hints, no hidden signs Just say it straight, and I'll make it mine I don't always see, I don't always know Sometimes the biggest clues just come and go So baby, please, make it crystal clear If you want me to know, whisper it in my ear [Verse 2] I'm a simple kind of man, I say just what I mean I don't catch the little messages hiding in between You could drop a hundred clues, I might not catch a single one Then I'm kicking myself later for the things I should've done And it messes with my head when you tell me what I missed Replaying every moment, every look, every little twist Wondering how I didn't see what was right there in my face When all I ever wanted was to make you smile that day [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking you to change Or to hold your words inside I just need a little clarity Don't make me guess what's on your mind [Chorus] Baby, whisper it in my ear Tell me what you want me to hear No little hints, no hidden signs Just say it straight, and I'll make it mine I don't always see, I don't always know Sometimes the biggest clues just come and go So baby, please, make it crystal clear If you want me to know, whisper it in my ear [Bridge] I don't want to miss a moment I don't want to let you down I don't want you feeling unheard When I'm the one who can't read what's around So come a little closer Put your lips right by my ear Tell me what you're thinking, baby And I promise I'll be here [Final Chorus] Baby, whisper it in my ear Make those words so loud and clear No more guessing, no more signs Just your honest words and this heart of mine I'm a straightforward man, that's all I'll ever be Sometimes you gotta spell it out for me So baby, please, whenever you want me near Don't just drop a hint, whisper it in my ear [Outro] Yeah, baby, whisper it in my ear I want to understand you, I want to make things clear I might miss the signs, but one thing's true I'm always trying to get it right with you
