I've got one evening left before I go Don't want to spend it one my own This time tomorrow I'll be on the road So I got to get on the telephone I need to see you girl, before I go away Just got to have your love to remember Your precious company, ooh that's what I need today I won't be back until September
You give me pleasure like I never had I guess you know just what I like Even if I'm not your only man You make me feel as if I am
So tonight I want to have you to myself 'Cause I'm leaving in the morning light Don't want you running to no one else Just wanna love you tonight
There is a saying you better not forget It's always come true for me They say that what you see is what you get And woman, you're all that I can see That's why I'm asking you, oh just try and understand me, baby
This ain't time for silly games And I'm a desperate man, can't you hear it in my voice Without your love I just wouldn't be the same So I'm putting my heart out to you, my love Doing everything within my power Now I've done my best - did I hear you say yes I'll be round at your door within the hour
'Cause tonight I want to have you to myself I'm leaving in the morning light Don't want you running to no one else Just wanna love you tonight
Now and again it occurs to me I'm giving away much more than I ought to be Oh, yes I am And today I got a letter Telling me things that I better not believe But I don't know if I can But you're the last in a long line of mistakes I've made I'm tired of giving my heart and soul to a masquerade So I'm gonna be
Keepin' it to myself Let it build up inside of me Keepin' it to myself Baby, I tried
Well it makes no difference I always thought that it was planned When you get everything a man has to give You now you got to return it But every time I build my dreams Find that love is not all what it seems to be And I keep getting burned But from now on I'm gonna quit Before I commit myself To any woman I meet And I'll get by without love for a while And get into something else
Keepin' it to myself Let it build on up inside Keepin' it to myself Baby, I tried
Got a message here that I hope you'll understand When I met you keepin' my distance was the plan But hey, I never thought you'd get to me this way I got you - and that's good
I was so scared that I would fall for you at first Holding back with my love just trying to gain your trust But now I'm not ashamed to say that you've got my love in your pocket And I'm hooked - can't you see
I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you in my blood I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you n my blood
I got to let you know that you really got a hold on me I'm hooked can't you see
I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you n my blood I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you in my blood
There's always someone waiting Looking over your shoulder When you go to pick up the prize That you've been working for But don't tell me you've been taken Everyday you get older If you take a look inside You don't have to look no more
There's always someone waiting Trying to pick up your woman And the time you think it's safe Then she's been spoken for Better watch out where it's going Just in case it don't come back And the money that you spend Turns into days and nights So I wonder, yes, I wonder who Yes I wonder, well I really do Who is waiting, who is waiting for me
There's always someone waiting Looking over your shoulder When you think you got it made And everything is lemonade But you never seem to get there Someone's taken the cream And you don't realize that You're still stuck in between There's always something creeping Taking over you body When you think you got control It's getting closer to you But you know that there's a reason For the time that it takes Trying to cut you down to size Just when you start to fake
Yes I wonder, I wonder who Yes I wonder, yes I really do Might it be your next door neighbour Maybe your agent or even your friend I said be careful, tread wary Be careful on who you depend
It's real, you know you're with me all the time No matter where you are No one can steal your love You gotta realize they won't get far
I can't give you up No, not without a fight Don't wanna let it up Just got to hang in tight C'mon fill me up With your sweet, sweet lovin' You got to set it up Ain't no use in runnin'
'Cause there's Nothing you can do Could make me stop Lovin' you baby Nothing you can say Could make me break away
You're mine, but I can't do a thing about it It takes time to get there And I just wanna sing about it to ya, yeah
I can't give you up No, not without a fight Don't wanna let it up Just got to hang in tight C'mon fill me up With your sweet, sweet lovin' You got to set me up Ain't no use in runnin' ' Cause there's Nothing you can do Could make me stop Lovin' you baby Nothing you can say Could make me break away
I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see Got to make it for you, got to make it for me Sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you But I would love to spend more time I've got so many things to do
