[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Look into my eyes and see
Everything you mean to me
Oh, lady, do you believe?
How can I express the way
I dream about you night and day
But I didn't prepare a speech

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
La da da da da da da da da (La da)
La da da da da da da da da
Speechless
See, I don't know what to say to you, but
La da da da da da da da da (La da da)
La da da da da da da da da (La da da)
Speechless
Here's a tender melody describin' love
Love
Love
Oh

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
Turnin' pages, tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
Secret ways to make you mine (Make you mine, all mine)
Lady of desire
And every time I try to speak
Your presence just takes over me
Still I'm not prepared to speak, so lady

[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
La da da da da da da da da (La da da)
La da da da da da da da da (Oh)
Speechless
Don't know what to say, but
La da da da da da da da da (La da da da la da da da)
La da da da da da da da da (La da da la da da)
Here's a simple melody describin' love (Love)
Love (La da la da la da)
Yeah
Love (Love)
Love (La da da, la da da, la da da)

[Outro: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
(I like it; I want some ice cream)
Just like ice cream, you're such a treat
I'm like a speaker without a speech
La da da da da da da da da (I don't know what to say)
La da da da da da da da da (I don't know what to do)
But sing "La da da" to you, girl
La da da da da da da da da (La da da da da)
La da da da da da da da da (La da da da da)
I'm speechless, baby; speechless, baby
Whoa, oh, ho, ho
La da da da da da da da da (Though I had it all together, baby)
La da da da da da da da da
(But one look at you, I lost my train of thought, yeah)
La da da da da da da da da (La da da da)
La da da da da da da da da (La da da da da)
La da, la da, la da da, ooh

The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
