How you going to keep it after you get it?

I want to know, sugar darling, yeah

Oh baby

Now I think of games sometimes

But when it comes to this heart of mine

I don't miss a bus

If you ain't got the right stuff

So I'm laying it on the line
The singer is being honest and upfront about their expectations for the relationship.

And it's something you'd best be mine

Don't fight the fire without the words to give it up

Listen, your sweet talking sure sound good

And your kissing satisfied

And when you hold me in your arms

I get weak, I won't deny

But I'm not in for a one-night thrill

You've got to have enough love to pull us all over the hill

If I let you be careful with my ship

I want to know, will you be able to hold your grip?

When hard times come, (tell me about it) honey, would you pack up your bags and run?

Sweet thing now, how you going to keep it?

And I want to know
