Baby hear me callin' baby come over here and love me Hold your lovin' body close to mine Crazy you're drivin' me crazy maybe you don't mean to But you never know what's goin' on in a woman's mind I know you've been hurt before You don't know what you're lookin' for and you're lonely If you'll only let me stay I will kiss the tears away and love you forever Baby I'm on my knees now baby I know that you're a lady But I wanna watch the sun come up with you Baby hear me callin' baby come over here and love me Hold your lovin' body close to mine I know that you're a lady but I wanna watch the sun come up with you I know that you're a lady but sometimes a lady needs a little lovin' to
