Zapp — If You Would Love Me

[Intro] (Love me, ooh...) Yeah, I had to write this for my baby We've been goin' through some changes A brother goin' through changes with his ol' lady Y'all know how relationships are (oh, yeah) I guess it's just the vicissitudes of life (mhm) You know, the unpredictability, changes But to my special one, this is for you [Verse 1] Peanut butter and jelly, and an ice-cold glass of milk You are that to me, a special spack And no matter what happens Girl, you're just like watermelon on a hot sunshiny day You're like gasoline to a car that's me, that's on E And with you, I just feel like I can just do anything But every time I try to get you to commit Girl, you just seem to back away [Chorus] If you would love me (love me) Just the way you say that you do (just the way you say you do) I would be happy givin' all my love to you (I'd give my love to you) If you would love me (oh yeah) Just the way you say that you do (just the way you say you do) I would be happy givin' all my love to you [Verse 2] Don't you understand that the virility of this man Needs you, the essence of female 'Cause pound for pound And you know there's a whole lot of pounds in me But they are nothing without you by my side So tell me what it is that I must do To make you feel like reverberating Under the hot sun on the Cancun sands What is it that I must do to keep you by my side Oh my precious, most loving, devoted woman [Chorus] If you would love me Just the way you say that you do (just the way you say you do) I would be happy givin' all my love to you (oh, oh...) If you would love me Just the way you say that you do (you gotta tell me) I would be happy (you gotta show me, baby) Givin' all my love to you [Verse 3] It's only one thing I need, only one thing this relationship is lacking And that's the commitment, you committed to me physically We need to stand before God and be committed forever You say you will, then you won't, you say you do, then you don't Oh, sometimes I think I'm suffering from a heartbreak When I toss and turn alone on those nights That you can't be with me You don't see the tears that fall from my eyes But you just see the stains, that are going down my cheeks You say you will, but then you don't, you say you won't I don't understand, it's blowin' my mind Because you are just starting to be completely Oh my precious, most loving, devoted woman [Chorus] If you would love me Just the way you say that you do (mm-mm) I would be happy givin' all my love to you [Outro] Listen: you got to walk with me, you got to talk with me You got to make me see, just what you mean (I would be happy) mm-mm, yea-hey... ow! (If you would love me) love me (Just the way you say that you do) (I would be happy) I wanna be your man (Givin' all my love to you) I'd give my love to you (If you would love me) oh, yeah (Just the way you say that you do) I wanna be your man (I would be happy givin' all my love to you...)
