Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For as long as you want me to
I belong to you
For as long as you want me to
In love with you
I'll always be
Forever true
Please don't you worry
About all the guys around
They can't sweet talk me
They can't put you down
And nothin' they could say
My darlin', in the way
All that I want I've got
All I can think of
Is only you, love
I belong to you
For as long as you want me to
I belong to you, baby
For as long as you want me to
There's no love
Like what we've known
Everything is right
We can't go wrong
Girls don't bother me
No matter what they do
Any fool could see
Baby, I've got you
I may not be the best
But I ain't seen no one yet
All I can think of
Is only you, love
I (Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby) belong to you (My baby)
For as long as you want me to
I belong to you (Oh, baby, baby, baby)
For as long as you want me to
I belong to you
For as long as you want me to
I belong to you (My baby)
