Love Me
Shaggy feat. Janet Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, begging, I would tell you
So there's no doubt, I'll spell it, come give it to me
Give it

[Chorus]
Come give your love to me
Come give your love 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 stay over there talkin' 'bout the way I feel
'Cause, baby, talk is cheap, actions speaks louder than words

[Chorus]

Hey baby love, just don't make me wait




For you, I'm so weak
You know I'll do anything it takes, so I beg you please
