Say What You Want
Samantha Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say what you need now
Name your desire
Say what you need now
In the times of trouble
When you think you can't last think
Ahead now and not of the past
Squeeze me strong, oh yeah, oh yeah
But can we last that long
It's all I ever needed
All along and now
I know
I'm not to worry
I've gotta be strong
Lift my head up high
'Til I touch the sky
I feel high, I feel high
And I say what I want
Say what you want
Say what you need now
Name your desire
Say what you mean now
What you want
Say what you need now
Name your desire
Say what you mean now
So hold me closer
Can't you feel
I'm burning up
Inside forever
I'll lick the last drop
Feel the passion
In my body
Tonight, tonight
I'm your wild kind of love
Say what you need now, need now
Name your desire
Say your desire
Say what you mean now
Say what you need now, need now
Name your desire
Say what you mean now
Say what you want
Say what you need now
Name your desire
Say what you mean now...
