I’ve been really tryin’, baby
Tryin’ to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Then come on, oh come on, ooh
Let’s get it on, oh baby
Let’s get it on, let’s love baby

With so much to give, understand me sugar
Since we got to be here

Lovin’ you, baby love, love
And givin’ yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true, oh baby
