She’d Say

[Verse 1: Andy Grammer]

You never got to meet your grandma did ya?

Every night, I got you kissin' on her picture

Cuts me up that you will never listen

To the sweet, sweet sound of her voice

I could tell you she was quite the mixture

Of a mama and a shaman and a fiery pistol

Truth is, she's right there in you

She's a part of you, you don't have a choice

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Grammer]

My dear, you will feel her

In your mind, you will hear her

And if she could use words, use words

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]

She'd say

"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"

She'd say

"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"

She'd say

"You are so much stronger than you even think you are

Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"

That's what she'd say

[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo

That's what she'd say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

[Verse 2: Andy Grammer]

She said, "Take care of your sisters, I mean the whole world

Spend your days tryna lift up other girls

You came with love, a purpose, and your mother's curls

I'll be with you every step of the way, ayy

Don't live your life tryna blend in, stick out

Trust your gut and don't you get into those doubts

Remember God is like the sun, he always comes out

Just when you think the dark's here to stay"

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Grammer]

My dear, you will feel her

In your mind, you will hear her

And if she could use words, use words

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]

She'd say

"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"

She'd say

"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"

She'd say

"You are so much stronger than you even think you are

Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"

That's what she'd say

[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo

That's what she'd say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo

[Bridge: Andy Grammer]

She'd say, "Listen to your daddy

In his voice, you will hear me

I know he will sing my song to you

And know that I'm happy

And you'll always have me

I'm watching everything you do"

[Chorus: Andy Grammer]

She'd say

"You're beautiful, but don't you overplay that card"

She'd say

"You're spiritual, so don't ever forget that part"

She'd say

"You are so much stronger than you even think you are

Let your heart, let your heart lead the way"

That's what she'd say

[Post-Chorus: Andy Grammer]

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo

That's what she'd say

Ooh-woo, ooh-woo, ooh-woo-hoo-hoo
