Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, could ever take or stop
The love that I have for you
It's very simple, you see it's
Baby, it's real
It's so, so real
What I feel
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
Without you, girl, it don't mean a thing
For you I'll do anything you want me to
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
Without you, girl, it don't mean a thing
I never thought that I would be knowing
The kind of love that you have been showing
The way you do the beautiful things you do
You really know how to make me love you
Uh, ah, can't you see I want it
Oh, uh, girl, I've been lonely
Oh, oh, got to, got to hold you
Oh, oh, got to make love to you
Can't you feel the fire
I'm burning up from one desire
The thrill from loving you
I can't help myself, I swear it's true
I'll do for you anything you want me to
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
Without you, girl, it don't mean a thing
For you, girl, I'll do anything you want me to
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
And without you, girl, it don't mean a thing
I never thought that I would be feeling
Love so strong for so long and still willing
To give you all the love I've got to give
For as long, as long as, long as I'm chilling
Uh, ah, can't you see I want it
Uh, uh, girl, I've been lonely
Oh, oh, now I got to hold you
Oh, oh, gonna make love to you
Girl, I'll go insane
If you ever take
The love I feel for you
I can't help myself, I swear it's true
I'll do, girl, for you anything you want me to
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
Without you, girl, it won't mean a thing
No, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no
Ah, I'll do, girl, for you anything you want me to
You're my world, my hopes and dreams
Without you, girl, it don't mean a thing
For you I'll do
