I'm liking you too much

Don't take advantage of

My tender heart and everything about me

In giving you my trust

I'm giving you my love

So do take care, please be gentle with my heart



'cause everything I do is 'bout you, baby

Baby, I don't wanna be apart, ooh

I've been loving you from the start

Here's my heart, here's my heart

Everything I do is all about you, baby



Whatever you do

Whatever you think

I look in your eyes

You don't know how my heart aches

Whatever you say, whatever could mean

You're breaking my heart



I want it all the time, I want it every night

I cant stop thinking, can't stop thinking about you

I'm burning with desire, my heart and soul on fire

So do take care, please be careful with my heart



Anything you do, I crave it, baby, baby, baby

I can't get you outta my mind

Loving you I can't deny you're in my heart

Deep inside, everything I do is all about you, baby



Hook



I maybe a fool for you, baby

Well, I can't help myself

Maybe I'm too in love

What else can I do but go crazy

For your love, boy, I'd give anything



Hook 3 times
