(when you sigh)
I want to sigh with you
When you cry
(when you cry)
I want to cry some, too
Now, ain't that love
(ain't that love)
(that I feel)
In my heart for you
When your friends
(when your friends)
Turn their back on you
I'll be here
(I'll be here)
Just to see you through
Now, ain't that love
(ain't that love)
Ain't that love
(ain't that love)
Ain't that love, ooohhh now
Ain't that love
That I feel in my heart for you
Now when you walk

I want to walk with you
When you talk

Want to talk some, too
Now, ain't that love

Oh, ain't that love that I feel

Don't you know, baby don't you know, I
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain't that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you
(instrumental break)
Baby, won't you let me hold your hand
I want to squeeze you as tight as I can
Baby, don't you need my by your side
To protect you and be your guide
Baby, I'm so in love with you
I'd do anything you tell me to
Now, ain't that love
(ain't that love)
Ain't that love
(ain't that love)
See'mon now, ain't that love, now
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain't that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh!
