Lyrics

If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right
If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right
So you've got me
Deep in your heart, babe
Look into my eyes
They say that you need me
You've got to peel
What you say is for real
Inside your love
Ooh, promise me to please me
Baby, don't tease me, hey, hey
'Cause if you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right, right
If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right
Say you want me
To stay by your side, babe
Open up your heart
Say that you'll keep me
Ooh, you've got to hold me
Inside of your love
And say you will
Never leave me
Say that you need it, hey, hey
Cause if you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right, yeah-yeah
If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right, yeah-yeah-yeah, hey
Yeah-hey-yeah-yeah
If you really want me (hey)
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right, ha-ha, yeah
If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right, yeah-yeah-yeah, hey
If you really want me
You've got to learn to love me right
Come on tonight
If you really want me
You've got to make it right
