Baby, if we're gonna do it, come on, do it right All I wanted was to know I'm safe Don't wanna lose the love I found Remember when you said that you would change? Don't let me down It's not fair, how you are I can't be complete, can you give me more? And all I know is You've got to give me everything Nothing less 'cause You know I give you all of me [Chorus] Oh, please, you know what I need Save all your lovin' for me We can't escape the love Give me everything that you have And all I know is You've got to give me everything Nothing less 'cause You know I give you all of me [Chorus]
