Left me a number on the bedroom wall
I like you baby, but I'd never call
You told me last night, you were in the mood
Come here girl, I'm gonna treat you good
If you're givin' it, I'm takin' it
Givin' your love away
If you give it up, I'll eat it up
I'm cravin' your love today
Give me somethin' baby, I can use
It's all or nothin' girl, it's up to you
Right now, I'll stick around
Don't take forever babe, I'm leavin' town
If you're givin' it, I'm takin' it
Givin' your love away
If you give it up, I'll eat it up
I'm cravin' your love today
If you give it up, I'm takin' it baby
Never do wrong or right (feelin' alright right right tonight)
Please turn on the light, yeah (feelin' alright right right
tonight)
I wanna see you desperate for our love (feelin' alright right
right tonight)
I need you babe, I wanna let you know (feelin' alright)
Poor little baby, got me mesmerized
You got me in pieces, with those bedroom eyes
I'd like to see you, when I come to town
So come on baby, I won't let you down
If you're givin' it, I'm takin' it
Givin' your love away
If you give it up, I'll eat it up
I'm cravin' your love today
If you're givin' it, I'm takin' it
Givin' your love away
If you give it up, I'll eat it up baby, yeah
Never do wrong or right (feelin' alright right right tonight)
Please turn on the light, yeah (feelin' alright right right
tonight)
I wanna see you desperate for our love (feelin' alright right
right tonight)
I need you babe, I wanna let you know (feelin' alright right
right tonight)
