Love me right
What's the matter with you
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smilin' ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes
The story goes much deeper
Than the eye can see yes it do
Stop runnin' a game
I can tell you're avoiding me, oh

Oh, ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Just to hear, hear you say
I love you
I need you

Love me right
What's the matter with you
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smilin' ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes

You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin', yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without what cha givin', hmm, hmm

Ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Oh, just to hear, just hear you say, hmm
I love you,
I need you

You got the love
To gimme the strength
To keep on livin' yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without
What cha givin', hmm, hmm

You got the love
To gimme the strength
To keep on livin' yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without
What cha givin', no, no

You got the love
To gimme the strength
To keep on livin' yeah
