Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I give my love
This time
I'm gonna make it last forever more
And when I give my love this time
I'm gonna give it all I got for sure
[Verse 2]
No more mistakes that's my resolution
Lord knows I've been through so many changes
Stick to the path that's the solution
It's for sure I won't go wrong
[Verse 3]
At last I've found someone
Someone that I can trust
Feel good about myself
Feel like nobody else
[Verse 4]
When I give my love
This time
I'm gonna make it last forever more
And when I give my love
This time
I'm gonna think it through and be for sure
[Verse 5]
Follow the book that's my intention
The book of life
The book of love
To be hurt by love is too painful to mention
But you learn from experience
[Verse 6]
At last I got someone
Someone I can trust
Feel good about myself
Feel like nobody else
Ooh baby
[Verse 7]
When I give myself this time
I'm gonna give it all I've got for sure
(Last forever) I'm gonna make it last
I'm gonna make it last
(Last forever) Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 8]
Giving my love to you baby
(Giving my love to you)
Oh gonna make it last
(Giving up, giving up)
Forever more
(Giving up, giving up)
[Verse 9]
Last forever
I'm gonna make it last
Last forever
I'm gonna make it last
Last forever
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh when I give my love this time
Ooh, forever and ever
[Verse 10]
When I give my love (Next time I give my love) I'm gonna think it through
And be for sure
I will have my eyes open baby
Yeah-yeah
Yes I will
Never take advantage of my love
For you baby
[Verse 11]
Got my eyes on you
Ooh, when I give my love to you baby yeah
I'm gonna make it last
Forever and ever
Oh forever more
And I'm gonna give it all I have for sure
[Verse 12]
Hey...I won't go wrong
No at last I found someone
Someone that I can trust
Forever and ever
Last forever and ever
I found myself
Ooh...baby
Last forever (Don't have to look for love) and ever
Last forever and ever
(Don't have to look no more)
Oh no, no
Last forever and ever
Last forever and ever
No, no no more
[Verse 13]
No ain't got to look for love no more
Gonna make it work
This time
