Nelly Furtado Say It Right

In the day,
In the night,
Say it right,
Say it all,
You Either got it,
or you don't,
You either stand,
or you fall,
When your will,
is broken,
When it slips,
from your hand,
When there's no,
time for joking,
There's a hole,
in the plan,

Say It Right Lyrics

Nelly Furtado seems able to do whatever she pleases - and excel at it.

An all-Spanish album is scheduled sometime later this year, so get ready for more of her crossover success.

Interesting lens, I did not know that Nelly Furtado was Canadian. (How did I miss that?) I just created a lens about Obama's Canadian playlist and would like to invite you to add this lens to it. You can find my lens at http://www.squidoo.com/obamas-canadian-playlist.
