Open the door and let your love come down
Over the wall you're spinning 'round and 'round
'Cause you're wanting some love
I'll make it happen
'Cause I don't want to break
Your fine face I can't take
The way you wanna wrap me up inside your smile
Open your heart and let the good stuff out
Water me girl and let me ease the drought
'Cause you're wanting some love
I'll make it happen
'Cause I don't want to break
Your fine face I can't take
The way you wanna wrap me up inside your smile
I can't be gone, darling
For very long, no
Never know what you're gonna do
Standing there deep in front of you
Take a look in between my eyes
Because I'm back, yeah
'Cause I don't want to break
Your fine face I can't take
The way you wanna wrap me up inside your smile
I can't be gone, darling
For very long, no
Never know what you're gonna do
Standing there deep in front of you
Take a look in between my eyes
Because I'm back, yeah
Give me a chance if you could force yourself
Look at me girl and get up off your shelf
'Cause you're wanting some love
I'll make it happen
