Kenny Nolan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do me anything you might
But love me, love me
Just love me
Tell me lies treat me cruel
Call me nothin' but a fool
But love me, love me
I've been waitin' for an angel
Like you to appear
All of my life I've been dreamin'
And holdin' you near
So do me wrong, do me right
Do me anything you might
But love me, love me
Baby love me
Maybe I'm just a fool
But what can I do
I've got a sweet tooth and honey
It's achin' for you, ooo
Do me wrong, do me right
Do me anything you might
But love me, love me
Baby love me
But love me with a love
With a love that's real
Love me with a love
That I can feel
Do, do, do, do, do, do
But love me.
