Lyrics
[Chorus]
The more I get, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want
The more I get, the more I want from you, baby
[Verse 1]
Give me habit, I just can't kick (Well)
'Cause it's your love I'm so happy with
There's no other, I can't compare
'Cause when I want your love, you're always there
You always give me what I want without knowing it
You always give me what I need when I need it (When I need it)
I don't ever want our love to end
'Cause I want that good thing over and over again
[Chorus]
The more I get, the more I want (Oh, yeah)
The more I get, the more I want
The more I get, the more I want from you, baby (Come on)
I want from you, baby
[Verse 2]
Too much of anything ain't good for the soul
If you got too much, you might just lose control (That's what they say)
Every time I get it I just want more
'Cause each time I get it, that thing gets better
You always give me what I want when I want it
You always give me what I need when I need it
I don't want you to take your love and go
That's why I ain't ashamed to let you go (I gotta tell you)
[Chorus]
The more I get, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want from you, baby (I can't help the way I feel about you, baby)
I want from you, baby (Hey)
[Refrain]
Just can't get enough
Can't get enough (Swear to God you make me happy, happy man)
Just can't get enough
Can't get enough (I ain't gon' change, baby, I know)
(I'ma stay a greedy man) Just can't get enough
Can't get enough (I need your love, yes, I do)
Woo, woo, well, well, since I need your love, I need it so bad, ah, ah, ah
Just can't get enough (Of your love)
Can't get enough (Don't you ever take your love from me, child)
Just can't get enough
Can't get enough (I don't know what I'd do)
Well, see, your love is so good to me
(And I gotta have you for the rest of my life) Just can't get enough
Can't get enough (Don't you do it)
Just can't get enough (Don't you do it)
Can't get enough (Don't you do it)
Just can't get enough (Don't you do it)
Can't get enough (Don't you do it, don't you do it)
Just can't get enough (Yeah)
Can't get enough (See ya, see ya, ah, ha)
[Instrumental]
Your love, I can't lose it
Yeah
[Instrumental]
Better believe it
[Instrumental]
Got something special
Make me feel like I wanna feel
You know how to do that, baby
Better than anybody else
