Babe, you been gone such a long time I've been thinkin' 'bout what it is we've got Not all the time in the world, but we got a lot There is much, much more than a ghost of a chance We can make it right this time 'Cause you've got to stay mine
Got the love Got to make it work on you Got the love Just can't keep it hid
You might not think that I care at all, But I do You know me so much better than anyone else It should be easy to convince you that I got the love
Got the love Got to make it work on you Got the love Just can't keep it hid
So come on girl, let's work it out C'mon and take my hand 'Cause I got the love
Got the love Got to make it work on you Got the love Just can't keep it hid
There's always someone waiting Looking over your shoulder When you go to pick up the prize That you've been working for But don't tell me you've been taken Everyday you get older If you take a look inside You don't have to look no more
There's always someone waiting Trying to pick up your woman And the time you think it's safe Then she's been spoken for Better watch out where it's going Just in case it don't come back And the money that you spend Turns into days and nights So I wonder, yes, I wonder who Yes I wonder, well I really do Who is waiting, who is waiting for me
There's always someone waiting Looking over your shoulder When you think you got it made And everything is lemonade But you never seem to get there Someone's taken the cream And you don't realize that You're still stuck in between There's always something creeping Taking over you body When you think you got control It's getting closer to you But you know that there's a reason For the time that it takes Trying to cut you down to size Just when you start to fake
Yes I wonder, I wonder who Yes I wonder, yes I really do Might it be your next door neighbour Maybe your agent or even your friend I said be careful, tread wary Be careful on who you depend
Got a message here that I hope you'll understand When I met you keepin' my distance was the plan But hey, I never thought you'd get to me this way I got you - and that's good
I was so scared that I would fall for you at first Holding back with my love just trying to gain your trust But now I'm not ashamed to say that you've got my love in your pocket And I'm hooked - can't you see
I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you in my blood I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you n my blood
I got to let you know that you really got a hold on me I'm hooked can't you see
I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you n my blood I just can't give you up 'Cause I got you in my blood
Now and again it occurs to me I'm giving away much more than I ought to be Oh, yes I am And today I got a letter Telling me things that I better not believe But I don't know if I can But you're the last in a long line of mistakes I've made I'm tired of giving my heart and soul to a masquerade So I'm gonna be
Keepin' it to myself Let it build up inside of me Keepin' it to myself Baby, I tried
Well it makes no difference I always thought that it was planned When you get everything a man has to give You now you got to return it But every time I build my dreams Find that love is not all what it seems to be And I keep getting burned But from now on I'm gonna quit Before I commit myself To any woman I meet And I'll get by without love for a while And get into something else
Keepin' it to myself Let it build on up inside Keepin' it to myself Baby, I tried
I've got one evening left before I go Don't want to spend it one my own This time tomorrow I'll be on the road So I got to get on the telephone I need to see you girl, before I go away Just got to have your love to remember Your precious company, ooh that's what I need today I won't be back until September
You give me pleasure like I never had I guess you know just what I like Even if I'm not your only man You make me feel as if I am
So tonight I want to have you to myself 'Cause I'm leaving in the morning light Don't want you running to no one else Just wanna love you tonight
There is a saying you better not forget It's always come true for me They say that what you see is what you get And woman, you're all that I can see That's why I'm asking you, oh just try and understand me, baby

Telephone line, bad connection And I'm half asleep Makin' conversation with you should be easy But it ain't Wish you could be with me There would be no problem Our communication's bad And I want to see you again
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, touching hands Person to person, that's what love demands
Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar But what can I do
Working hard on the other side of the world Might as well be on the moon Wish that I could write it all down And put it in a letter to you Feelin' like I do right now Won't make it any better to you Just got to be
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, we can't replace Person to person, that's just how it gets done

Meet me in the playground at a quarter to four Wait till everybody's (long) gone There must be so many things that we can explore Maybe I can walk you home If it starts to rain - we can take some shelter I'd like to hold your little hand My heart is spinning like a helter-skelter We'll get to know each other if we can
Chorus She said hey - wait a minute - hold on She said hey - just a little bit - hold on When ever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it For the frst time, and was it really such a thrill She said look, boy - but don't you touch
that ain't much - only a school boy crush
Got to keep this secret - can't take no chance Don't want nobody else to know There is nothing wrong with trying to start a romance (But) we should take it rather slow If we play it cool - It'll be all right Don't let the teacher see us talking But after school we will be out of sight Everybody gonna think we just gone walkin'
