Verna Francis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can i get a...
Can i get a drum?
Give me some...
Can i get a baseline?

It's never too late
To get a bit of my lovin'
Gonna tell it to you straight
Need a lil' bit something (Give to me!)
Here, make a new way
Got to give me something
Ain't givin' me nothing
We all make mistakes, baby
But there's gotta be a way to make you love me, baby

Yeah
*screams*
Gonna make you love, yeah

If you...
'Cause if you want it
I got it
Baby, it's right here
'Cause if you need it
You got it (a bit of my lovin')
Baby, how you gonna feel

Got to, go to,
Ring it down now
Say i wanna..
C'mon i need a lil bit something

It's never too late
Get back to how we used to be
Just do it for my say
Show that you can for me
Don't let it fade (Don't fake it!)
How i feel about you
Don't leave me in the state
Baby, don't leave me now

'Cause there's gotta be a way to make you love me, baby
'Cause if you want it
I got it
Baby, it's right here
'Cause if you need it
You got it (a bit of my lovin')
Baby, how you gonna feel

'Cause if you need it
'Cause if you want it
Baby, how you gonna feel

Gotta be a way to make you love me, baby
Yeah
Give it to me (Give it to me)




Oh, if you want it
If you...
