Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love me right
What's the matter with you?
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do?
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes
The story goes, oh, much deeper
Than the eye can see, yes, it do
Stop runnin' a game
I can tell you're avoiding me, uh huh
[Refrain]
Oh, ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Just to hear, hear you say
I love you
I need you
[Verse 2]
Love me right
What's the matter with you?
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do?
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes
[Chorus]
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin', yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without what you're givin'
[Refrain]
Ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Oh, just to hear, Just to hear you say
I love you
I need you
[Instrumental]
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin', yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without what you're givin'
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin', yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without what you're givin'
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin', yeah
Whatever it is
