How can I get you to notice that I want you?
My heart's on fire with desire
'Cause I love you
There's no time for waiting
Ready, I will tell you
So there is no doubt
I'll spell it out
Come give it to me, give it

Come give your love to me (give it, ooh)
Come give your love to me (give it to me)
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me

You've turned the spark of my love
Into a raging flame
And now I need to convince you
To feel the same
So don't you stand there
Talkin' 'bout the way I feel
'Cause, baby, talk is cheap
Action speaks louder than words, yeah

Come give your love to me (give it, ooh)
Come give your love to me (give it to me)
Come give your love to me (give it, ooh)
Come give your love to me

Hey, baby, love just won't let me wait
For you, I'm so weak (come give your love to me)
You know I'll do anything it takes
So I beg you please, baby (come give your love to me)

Come give your love to me (give it, ooh, ooh)
Come give your love to me (come give it to me)

Come give your love to me (give it, ooh)
Come give your love to me (give it to me)
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me (give it, ooh)
Come give your love to me (give it to me)
Come give your love to me

Come give your love to me
Come give your love to me
