Talk about the love you're missing

Maybe then it's true when they say love is blind

I can help you if you listen

I can meke you feel good if you just let me try



If everlasting love is what you're waiting for

Then that time for you just has arrived

So here I am come walk right thru my door

And be loved for the rest of your life



If you talk about good loving

Let's talk about the lover in me (shoo do op)

So don't go talk about no other

Just talk about the lover in me (shoo do op)



I can give you all the loving

But I gotta know that you're there to receive

I can be your only woman

But I gotta feel that I'm all that you need



I'll be your everything I can give you so much more

And I'll never leave you lonely at night

So here I am come walk right through my door

And be loved for the rest of your life



Hook 2 times



Now if you talk about and dream about and think about your lover

Don't talk about or dream about or think about no other

Don't run around all over town searching for some other

The love we found won't let us down, let's talk about the lover



I'll be your everything I can give you so much more

And I'll never leave you lonely at night

So here I am come walk right through my door

And be loved for the rest of your life



Hook



If you talk about and dream about and think about your lover

Don't talk about or think about or dream about no other

Don't run around all over town just searching for some other

The love we found won't let us down, let's talk about the lover
