Work On Me Baby
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
I wanna tell you something girl
God intended and you planned it
It was meant to be
Like a lover, or a brother
I'll shield you from the enemy
Don't say forever
Don't say forever
Hold me (baby just hold me)
Let's stay together
Let's stay together
Look in my eyes
Can't you see what I need?
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
I do it better when I'm under pressure
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
Some boys are devils
Some fools say
Maybe we'll work it out
I think we'll work it out
God intended, he depended
On our honesty
Like a lover, like no other
I'll shield you from the enemy
Don't say forever
Don't say forever
Hold me (baby just hold me)
Let's stay together
Let's stay together
Look in my eyes
Can't you see what I need?
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
I do it better when I'm under pressure
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
Some boys are devils
Some fools say
Maybe we'll work it out
I think we'll work it out
You've been trying baby
Just painting a picture for me, yeah
Ain't no use crying darling
When we love so easily
oh darling, yes you work on me
Everyday, in every way, we'll work
Don't say forever
Don't say forever
Hold me (baby just hold me)
Let's stay together
Let's stay together
Look in my eyes
Can't you see what I need?
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
I do it better when I'm under pressure
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
Some boys are devils
Some fools say
Maybe we'll work it out
I think we'll work it out
