Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's nothing I wouldn't be
To get to be together
There's nothing I wouldn't be
My heart depends on me
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Including doing nothing
There's nothing I wouldn't be
For you to be with me, now, sugar
[Verse 2]
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Nothing, oh nothing
'Cause baby, ba-ooh
I'm a would be
W-O-O-D
I'm a would be, would be
B-E-E-Z
[Verse 3]
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To make you want for nothing
There's nothing I wouldn't do
My heart belongs to you
There's nothing we shouldn't do
To get to be so happy
There's nothing we shouldn't do
Oh, let's forget taboo, now, sugar
[Verse 4]
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Nothing, oh, nothing
'Cause baby, ba-ooh
I'm a would be
W-O-O-D
I'm a would be, would be
B-E-E-Z
[Verse 5]
Each time I love you
You know what I need to do
And each time I need you
Oh, baby, you know, you know, know, kn-know
[Verse 6]
'There's nothing I wouldn't take
Oh, even intravenous
There's nothing I wouldn't take
To get to be approved
There's nothing I wouldn't be
Oh, that's the gift of schizo
There's nothing that's new to me
I've seen it all before, now, sugar
[Verse 7]
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Each time I go to bed, I pray like Aretha Franklin
Nothing, oh nothing
'Cause baby, ba-ooh
I'm a would be
W-O-O-D
I'm a would be, would be
B-E-E-Z
