Lyrics

I-I-I-I

I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

Easy, ready, willing, overtime

Where does it stop? Where do you dare me to draw the line?

Here's the body now you want my soul

Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

But I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for being twice as nice

I can't go on for just repeating the same old line

Here's the body now you want my soul

Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

But I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no no, no can do

I can't go for that, no no no no no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no no no, no can do

I can't go for that, oh no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

Jumped into your L-O-V-E just like a swimming pool

Head first to quench for thirst but ended up the fool

Stay cool I wish that I could

But I can't so I shan't

Keep giving it all that I got to give

And that's a hell of a lot of a plan

Why can't you see that I'm the man?

Our love that coulda been greater

But a mistake is what you made

My cuisine, you're dissin' the plate

Never the giver just the taker

Take a listen to the fact, in fact

Can't go for that

Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go

Baby, I can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Baby, I can't go, oh baby, no can do

I can't go for that, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no can do

I can't go for that, can't go for that

Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
