Bet you think that I don't love you, babe
Bet you think that I don't care
But I'm telling you
You got something
And I'm loving it with all my heart
I don't ever want to part

I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't want to be with no one but you
I want to wrap you in the arms of your mighty man
Wrap you in my arms cause you know I can

Don't you know you can call on me baby
I'll you got to do, is say you will
'Cause I'm ready just to love you
And put an end to all your doubts
I know we can work it out

I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't want to be with no one but you
I want to wrap you in the arms of your mighty man
Wrap you in my arms cause you know I can

Get yourself together
Put an end to your fantasy
Or you just might, just might blow it all
Get yourself together
And baby when you do
You'll realize, I've been true to you

I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't want to be with no one but you
I want to wrap you in the arms of your mighty man
Wrap you in my arms cause you know I can
I don't want to be with no one but you
I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't want to be with nobody but you...
