Lyrics
[Chorus]
I wanna do more and more for my baby
I wanna do more to make you understand
I wanna do more and more for my baby, oh yeah
I want you to know that you're my lover man
[Verse 1]
We used to go together like a hand in a glove
Live on a shoestring a whole lotta love
My clothes were ragged and my shoes were thin
But my baby stuck with me until the end
[Chorus]
Gotta do more and more for my baby, oh yeah
I gotta do more to make you understand
I wanna do more, more, more, more, more for my baby, huh-uh
I want you to know that you're my lover man
[Verse 2]
Used to hug and squeeze and hold me tight
Gimme your love with all your might
You used to make me laugh, and that ain't all
You used to take a little nip and have a ball
[Chorus]
Gonna do more and more for my baby, uh-hmm
I wanna do more to make you understand
I gotta do more and more for my baby, uh-huh
I want you to know that you're my lover man
[Verse 3]
You used to hug and squeeze and hold me tight
Gimme your love with all your might
You used to make me laugh, and that ain't all
You used to take a little nip and have a ball
[Chorus]
Gotta do more and more for my baby, oh well
I gotta do more to make you understand, oh ho
I gotta do more, more, more, more, more for my baby, huh-uh
I want you to know that you're my lover man
[Outro]
Well, yes you are, you're my lovin' daddy
Ooh, yes you are, you're my lover man
