She's Gonna' Love Me
REO Speedwagon · Building The Bridge [1996]
She's gonna treat me like you never would
She's gonna love me live I've never been loved before
You should have grabbed me when you had your chance
You got a little bit too big for your own leather pants
I could have told you from the start
No one's ever taken better care of your heart
Now your gone, I don't care
I've got a woman who will always be there, and...
She's gonna love me like you never could
She's gonna treat me like you never would
She's gonna love me like I've never been loved before
She's gonna spin me like a roulette wheel
She's gonna treat me like I'm her last meal
She's gonna love me and I keep comin' back for more
Ooh she's gonna love me
Ooh she's gonna love me
She's gonna love me like her favorite hobby
Throw me down and love me in the hotel lobby
You figured I'd just always be around
You thought we were so hot, you could have any boy in town
Baby I've got some news for you
I've got places to go and people to do
Yeah, I cried a little when you said good-bye
But now my eyes are filled with tears of joy, cus-
She's gonna love me like you never could
She's gonna treat me like you never would
She's Gonna' Love Me
