Mary J Will I am in the place with the love

Things can get a little hard in this life
But you know, you know I love you

You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see
What you're doing to me

I'm sayin' yes and sayin' no
Because I don't want you to know
How I really feel, how I really feel

About you (you know how I feel)
About you (you know how I feel)
About you (how I feel, you know how I feel)

So glad to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You, you're the one for me
I don't wanna be free
Boy, you have rescued me
But sometimes I don't want to be bothered
Baby, don't think I am shady
Just adjusting to ya
I don't wanna confuse ya or even misuse ya
But I love ya, I love ya, yeah, yeah

You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see
What you're doing to me

I'm sayin' yes and sayin' no
Because I don't want you to know
How I really feel, how I really feel

About you (you know how I feel)
About you (you know how I feel)
About you (how I feel, you know how I feel)

So glad to have you in my life
(It's a new life for me, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ooh, so glad to have you in my life
So glad to have someone to hold me
So very happy with my life
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad

Baby, you a soul mama
Love's what I'm a bring to you
Quick don't pause like a comma
Won't stall on ya when it's time to put it on ya
Don't call on another chick I'm callin' on ya
Won't trip on ya, I don't bring the drama
I won't dip out when it's trauma
I'm holdin' on mama, hold up, wait a minute
We've been through the downs ups, but stayed in it
So glad that I've got you, that I got you
So glad that I got you, I got you

You're everything I ever wanted
Everything I've never wanted
In a man, can't you see
What you're doing to me





There it is
