I'm in love with you
Well, alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do?
I'll do anything you say
It's just got to be that way
Well, alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well, alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do?
Anything you say, I'll do
As long as it's me and you
All that I am askin'
All I want from you
Is just love me like I love you
And it won't be hard to do
Well, alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well, alright, okay, you win
Well, baby, what can I do?
I'll do anything you say
Oh, it's just got to be that way
All that I am askin'
All I want from you
Just love me like I love you
It won't be hard to do
All night, all day
I'm in, oh, and I'm telling you
Alright, okay, you win
What are you waiting for?
If you're gonna be my man
Sweet baby, take me by the hand
Well, alright, okay, you win
Alright, Okay, You Win
