Hi!
Each time I listen to "Russians" by Sting (lyrics here, e.g.:
http://www.lyricattack.com/s/stinglyrics/russianslyrics.html), what is
the difference between
"I'm saying you" smth and
"I say to you" like Sting sings?
I don't have a context for the "I'm saying you" line. I didn't find it
in the "Russians" lyrics, but it could mean "this is what I have to say
about you". I'm = I am.
I am saying [that] you [do or have done some thing] ... or
I am saying [something about] you.
----------
The "I say to you" line from the Sting song is just a more formalized
style of "I say".
I think it mostly has to do with making the number of sylables match up
so the line fits the melody.
