Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What's happening, baby?
Did you miss me over the weekend?
If you did, I'm sorry
But now that I'm here
I don't want to bore you with a long irrelevant story
But you see, doll
It think it's about time for me to get real serious about you
Because if someone was to rip me off of you
I couldn't account for my actions afterwards
And the way I'd feel
Knowing that you should have been mine all the time
[Verse 2]
But you see, I not only want you, baby
But I need you
And the need is so strong
It's almost like that of a junkie
In other words, baby
I just got to have you
Listen to me, darlin'
Please, listen to me
[Verse 3]
Love jones, I've got a love jones
I got a love jones for you
Love jones, I've got a love jones
I got a love jones for you
[Verse 4]
What, baby, what is a love hones?
Shucks, doll
It's when you love someone
Very, very much and you just can't seem to get yourself together
Like last Friday in class
When Mr. Russel was giving us the test
I was sitting up, staring at you
And daydreaming
I know, I failed
A test paper with nothing but my name on it?
I guess anybody can have a love jones
It's just love, but true love
The way I feel about you, that's a love jones, doll
A love truly
[Verse 5]
Love jones, I've got a love jones
I got a love jones for you
Love Jones, I've got a love Jones
I got a love jones for you
[Verse 6]
If you've comprehended anything I've said
And you find that you do love me
Then all I want to hear from you, doll
Is that you too have a love jones
[Verse 7]
Love jones, I've got a love jones (Come on, baby, ah)
I got a love jones for you (For nobody but you, I can't kick the habit)
Love jones, I've got a love jones (How hard I tried, oh)
I got a love jones for you (For nobody but you)
