Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna love you, yeah, yeah
Over and over again
I wanna see, see what your life
Life can be (Over and over)
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, baby
Don't say goodnight
When you know
It's time for love
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say goodnight
Oh, when you know
I gotta have your love
[Verse 2]
I wanna feel you
I wanna thrill you, girl
I want to caress you, ooh
Help undress you, girl
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey baby
Don't say goodnight (Don't say goodnight)
Oh, when you know
I gotta have your love
And oh, baby
Don't say goodnight (Don't say goodnight)
When you know
I gotta have your love

Ever, ever, ever say
