Body
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.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home.
Never thought that I would hurt so bad.
And ever since the day that I met you, all alone I sit 'cause
I'm so sad.
Don't you know this heart, it grieves for you?
There you were, holdin' back your love, tryin' to make me feel
real bad, 'cause your love I never had.
I pray to her.
(He loves you)
I needed her
(He needs you)
I told her that
(He wants you)
I want her back
(He loves you).
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Darlin', donmt you want to have some fun?
Don't you know, baby, I'm the one?
Just come with me and I'll make you feel.
Don't you know, babe, this love is real?
There you were, holdin' back your love,
All alone, you lookin' sad, but I know you want it bad.
Deceivin' me
(He loves you)
What is the key?
(He needs you)
Do you believe in me?
(He wants you)
It's a disgrace, you see.
(He loves you)
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
