Chorus:
If you gave me all your heart
And I just gave you all my soul
Then why cant we, be happy
Good loving, no fronting, come on girl
Just show me something
Why cant we, just be happy, oh girl
Stevie j:
Such a sticky situation
Your girlfriends say, I am not for you
Though youre the object of affection
No matter what they say, Im gonna rush to you
Heres an open invitation
A trip around the world, Ill make you my girl
There will be no hesitation
My love is waiting, so tell me what you gon do
If you gave me all your heart
And I just gave you all my soul
Then why cant we, be happy (oh)
Good loving, no fronting (ooh)
Come on girl
Just show me something
Why cant we (why cant we? ) just be happy (be happy),
Oh girl if you gave me all your heart
And I just gave you all my soul
Then why cant we, be happy (oh)
Good loving, no fronting, come on girl,
Just show me something, why cant we (why cant we)
Just be happy, (oh oh) oh girl
Dalvin:
Girl I just wanted to let you know
How much you turn me on
Ooh I feel youre strong
Your body is my inspiration
What I would do for you
Honey you have no clue
Ever since the day I met you
You stayed on my mind
Damn you are so fine
Come on now trust me with all your love

From all your misery
If you gave me all your heart and I gave you all my soul
