Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Your love for me came as a waterfall Flowin' inside me like never before Your love for me, somethin' I didn't see But baby, I know better now When you walk in the room that very night A special feelin' just burst inside It was only you, nobody else But baby, I know better now Don't want to love you if you don't love me Don't want to need you when you won't need me too Don't want to tell you this now, but it wouldn't be Right If I didn't tell you this tonight Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And now you're back inside my house again I'm tryin' deeper to explain 'Cause baby, I want to get it on And baby, you're the one for me But now that I have got you all alone After all this talkin' on the phone I should be strong, there's nothing wrong I'll tell you this is where you belong, where you Belong Don't want to love you if you don't love me Don't want to need you when you won't need me too Don't want to tell you this now, but it wouldn't be Right If I didn't tell you this tonight Don't want to love you if you don't love me Don't want to need you when you won't need me too Don't want to tell you this now, but it wouldn't be Right If I didn't tell you this tonight It was just something in your eyes That made me realize But now I hear voices deep inside Tellin' me, tellin' me It's you Don't want to love you if you don't love me Don't want to need you when you won't need me too Don't want to tell you this now, but it wouldn't be Right If I didn't tell you this tonight Don't want to love you if you don't love me Don't want to need you when you won't need me too Don't want to tell you this now, but it wouldn't be Right If I didn't tell you this tonight
