You know, baby, I spent a lot of time running away from love, because I didn't wanna be tied down when I was afriad I might miss something
But you know life is funny
I found out that I was missing something anyway
I was missing some of your good love
And you, being the beautiful and considerate person that you are, you showed me nothing but kindness, tenderness, and respect
And that's why I'm here
It takes a grown man to admit why he's a fool, and darling, I've been a fool and I'm sorry
But now that I'm back, baby, anything you want
Anything you think you want, I can get it for you
Just do this for me:
Put your hand in mine
Girl, don't waste no time
I love you and that's all that matters
Place your trust in me
Darling, you will see the kind of love that makes the world go 'round
You're my woman
You're the one that wraps your love around me so tight
I can feel it
I can feel it in me, girl. Come on
(Tell me again) Tell me again, my baby. Whoa
(That we'll be lovers and friends.)
We can be so much more, girl
(Tell me again) Tell me again, girl. Come on
(That we'll be lovers and friends.)
Lovers and friends, my baby
Yes we will. Yes we will. Listen
I waited for so long
Girl, with you I belong
I don't care about age, because that's just a number
A beat to me and you
There is so much we can do
We can start right now
Let me love all your mind, body, and soul
Oooh. You're my woman and forever you're mine
And I'm so glad you gave me the chance, baby
To woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo for you, baby
'Cause I can do it. I can-I can do it good
(Tell me again) Wooooooo, baby
(That we'll be lovers and friends.)
Would you tell me that, baby. Tell me that, darling
(Tell me again) That we're gonna be lovers, girl
(That we'll be lovers and friends.)
Because I know that I can love you right
(Tell me again) Girl, I will take care of you
(That we'll be lovers and friends.)
I'll buy your house for you, baby
And I'll buy one for your mama, too. I will
(Tell me again) If you're feeling love like I do, just tell me
(That we'll be lovers and friends.) That you want me, baby, that you want me now. Come on
Ahhh. Ah, ah, ah, hoooh. Ah, ah, hooooooooooh
That's how I feel, baby, when you touch me
We're gonna get it on all night long
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
'Cause I came back for you, baby, and I know what to do
(Tell me again) Tell me
(That we'll be lovers and friends.) We will be lovers
Ah, baby
