Say You

About Say You

"Say You" is a 1965 soul song, written by Robert Dobyne, Robert Staunton and Charles Jones, and recorded by both The Monitors , who had a charting R&B Hit with the song, and The Temptations. The Monitors' version was recorded in July 1965 and released as the group's debut single for Motown Records. Their previous single, "Hello Love", was planned for release on Motown's VIP subsidiary (as VIP 25010) but cancelled. That single was scheduled for release under the group's original name, The Majestics. "Say You" was also released initially as crediting The Majestics before a name change was forced upon them by the existence of another Majestics group. Upon release, the song became a minor R&B hit, making #36 on the Billboard Soul Charts. "Say You" is also included on The Monitors' debut (and only) album for Motown, Greetings! We're The Monitors, released in November of 1968. Motown's The Temptations had originally recorded the song about one month before The Monitors (in June 1965), and their version was released on the group's fourth album, 1966's Gettin' Ready. David Ruffin sung lead on the Tempts' version, with Melvin Franklin leading a line on the song's bridge. Richard Street (who would later join the Tempts' years later) led the Monitors' version. more »

Say, you
Who do you belong to?
Say, you
I've been hoping to meet you

Baby (Baby)
You've caught my eye
I can't deny
I realize it's you
I like what I see
You're perfect for me
Fast and fancy

Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)

I don't want to be friends if my heart kept seein'
Watching you play around (You play around)
This would make me sad
Hurt so bad
Drag my spirit down

Girl, say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)
(Baby) Give me the key to your heart.
Baby, say you
Who do you belong to?
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, baby, you, Lil' Girl
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, you.
