Love Me Like You Did, Last Night
Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison
You loved me, how you loved me?
Oh, you made me love you last night
Oh, how you teased me like you did it
When you did it last night
Please me like you did it
When you did it last night
You stole my heart away
From me last night, holding you tight
Did it mean as much to you
As it meant to me last night?
Were you just lonely, was I just a friend?
Did you want me only or did you pretend?
Was it just one night to hold you tight?
Then make tonight just like last night
Come on and love me like you did it
When you did it last night
Hold me like you did it
When you did it last night
I want you to stay
And love me all the way
Say sweet things to me
Like you said last night, hang on so tight
Now it's alright, just like last night
I feel so fine now, you are mine now
Yeah, just like last night
Yeah, kiss me like you did it
When you did it last night
Yeah, touch me like you did it
When you did it last night
Ah, love me like you did it
When you did it last night, last night
