Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Call it what you want

[Verse 2]

I can tell you've been watchin' me

Girl, I've been watchin' you too

I got the feeling you want me love

I must admit, I want your love too

[Verse 3]

Call it what you want, baby

Girl, I call it love

Call it what you want, darling

I'll still call it love

[Verse 4]

You know, there's something about you, girl

What it is is kinda hard to say

I only wish we could get away

Give me love, and I'll lead the way

[Verse 5]

Call it what you want, baby

Girl, I call it love

Call it what you want, darling

I'll still call it love

[Verse 6]

Na, na-na, na, na-na-na, na

Na, na-na, na, na-na-na, na

[Verse 7]

It's so groovy

Just to be with you

It's so groovy

Just to dance

Or anything that you wanna do

[Verse 8]

Na, na-na, na, na-na-na, na

You sing

Na, na-na, na, na-na-na, na

[Verse 9]

I can feel it

I can feel it

I can feel it

I can feel your love, girl

[Verse 10]

It's so groovy

Just to be with you

It's so moving

Just to dance

Or anything that you wanna do

[Verse 11]

Call it what you want

I'll still call it love

Call it anything that you wanna, girl

I'll still call it love

[Verse 12]

You can call it this

You can call it that

You can call it anything, girl

[Verse 13]

Call it what you want, baby

Girl, I'll call it love

Call it what you want, darling

I'll still call it love

Call it what you want, baby

Girl, I'll call it love

Call it what you want, darling

I'll still call it love
