The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna have to do
Well, if you want me to love you, and have you love me, too
Well, I've got to have my lovin' like my habit set on
Gonna start in the evening and go all night long
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Well, if you want me to love you, here's what you've got to do
If you want me to love you, and have me love you true
Well baby, I'll go all night long if that's what you want me to do
But I don't think you'll last more than a minute or two
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna have to do
Well, if you want me to love you, and have you love me, too
Well I'm so sorry if I don't waste my time by hanging around
It's just that there's something so much sweeter on the other side of town
If you want me to love you, you're gonna have to get out of the way
Well, if you want me to love you, another thing you've got to do
If you want me to love you, and have me love you true
Well baby, if you've got something better, I guess you'd better split
I just hate it when you use my money to pay for it
If you want me to love you, you'd better turn right back right now
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna have to do
Well, if you want me to love you, and have you love me, too
Oh, what's this complaining about money, baby, I know you've got it all
Earning just a quarter at a time in the bus station stall
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna have to do
If you want me to love you, and have me love you true
Well baby, now if you wanna get in to my britches
You're gonna have to show me more than that three inches
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna have to do
Well, if you want me to love you, and have you love me, too
Well, I'm sorry, baby, if my three inches don't do the trick
But there's lots of gals out there who like it that thick
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Scat duet
If you want me to love you, the last thing you'll have to do
If you want me to love you, and have me love you true
You've got to take a butcher knife, cut off your head
Send me a telegram that your body is dead
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do
Oh, now, babe, well, that's what you've got to do
That's what you've got to do
Well, if you want me to love you I'm gonna tell you what you've got to do
If you want me to love you, and have me love you true
Well baby, if it's early in the evening and you're already done
You're gonna have to get inventive with your tongue
If you want me to love you, that's what you've got to do.
