I Don't Want To Do Anything
Mary J. Blige · Ballads [2000]
(Chorus)
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
(Vs.1) K-ci
Listen baby
Every night and day
I dream of another way
to tell you something good
I don't think that I'm understood
You walk away and I frown
With my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long baby
(Chorus)
(Vs.2) Mary J. Blige
You told me a thousand times
That you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you
But in your smile, I still can't find
And now you tell me this
This is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me
And I'll love you for you
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
K-ci
Now that I know I'm gonna make love to you
So lady open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
Mary
If loving you is all that I have to do
Then it won't be wrong baby
(Mary & K-ci) Cause we belong together baby
(Music plays)
Mary and K-ci:
Together we will be as one
Just me and you, you you you
K-c:Will you love me
Mary: I will love you
K-C: Will you please me
Mary: I will please you
K-C: Girl, don't leave me
Mary: I won't leave you
K-C: Let's make it easy
Mary: I'll make it easy
K-c: Will you love me
Mary: I will love you
K-C: Will you please me
Mary: I will please you, you, you
K-C: Girl, don't leave me
Mary: I won't leave you
K-C:L Let's make it easy
K-ci
They can take my posessions
No, no, no, no, They can never take your love away from me
Mary
Oh, see now listen, with every breath I breath
And every beat in my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one
Can tear us apart
(Oh no)
Cause I love you baby
K I love you too
And I need you baby
K I need you to baby
K-ci (Mary in background Ad-libing)
Stay with me more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know
I love you
Oh yes
Oh you make me feel so good baby
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
If loving you is all that I have to do
I don't want to do anything else
(Vs.1) K-ci
Listen baby
Every night and day
