Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
If you really do
Don't be afraid, baby
Just ask me
Ya know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh, and I do declare (I do)
I wanna see you with it
You're gonna get it
'Cause I love you, oh
(Baby, baby, baby, I love you)
There ain't no doubt about it
Baby, I love you
(Baby, baby, baby, I love you)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you
If you feel you wanna kiss me
Go right ahead I don't mind
All you got to do is snap your fingers
And I'll come a runnin, I ain't lyin'
(I ain't lyin')
And oh what you want
Little boy you know you got it
I'd deny my own self
Before I see you without it
'Cause I love you
(Baby, baby, baby I love you)
Ain't no doubt about it baby I love you
(Baby, baby, baby I love you)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you
Someday ya might wanna run away
And leave me sittin' here to cry
But if it's all the same to ya baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
(Goodbye)
Baby I love ya (baby, baby, I love ya)
Baby I need ya (baby, baby I need ya)
Said I want ya (baby baby I want ya)
Getcha have ya baby (baby baby I love ya)
Don't let your neighbors tell ya I don't want ya
(Baby, baby I want ya)
Don't let your lowdown friends
(Baby, baby I want ya)
