Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are pushin' full of lovin', that makes my heart sing
I know that you want me and you prove it every day
You're the kind of girl I don't mind giving my best and I say
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Baby, I'm so proud, I'm really gonna scream out loud
I can't hold it any longer, your love talk is getting stronger
Just one look in your eyes can make a young man cry
Said I couldn't advertise but baby, you apologize
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
But I, oh I, oh I, I couldn't keep it to myself
Look, your love is harder than the hardest rock
Ooh, it's shocking like electric wire, yeah yeah
Said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
Said I wasn't gonna tell a soul
Everybody try to listen to this, ooh yeah
I wanna tell you
