Lyrics
I want a love I can see
That's the only kind that means a thing to me
Don't want a love you have to tell me about
That kind of a loving I can sure do without
(I can sure do without)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a love I can feel (Ooh-ooh)
That only kind of a loving I think is real (Ooh-ooh)
Don't wanna be quoted by something I heard now (Ooh-ooh)
'Cause baby actions speak louder than words
(Ah, louder than words)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a love that's mine (I want a love)
In the rain or in sun, sun, sunshine (I want a love)
A love to keep warm when it's cold (I want a love, that's mine)
The kind of love that will never grow old (Never grow old)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Uh huh)
Why don't you know I want a love?
Why don't you know I want a love?
Why don't you know I want a love?
Yeah, yeah
I want a love I can see (I want a love I can see)
That kind of a love you could give to me (Could give to me)
The kind of kisses to make, make me melt (Ooh, make me melt)
That kind of a love that can really be felt (Really be felt)
Yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I
Why don't you know I want a love? (I wanna love you)
Why don't you know I want a love? (You gotta love baby)
Don't you know I want a love? (Right now)
Yeah, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I
Why don't you know I want a love (Dont you know I)
Why don't you know I want a love (I wanna love you)
Don't you know I want a love (Uh-huh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
