If you want some loving, 
That I can give to you. 
And if you want some hugging, 
Said I can hug some, too. 

All I want baby now 
Is some thought of you 
And just a little of your affection, 
You know, will see me through. 

'Cause you know that you are my man, 
And I want you to forever be mine.
I idolize you (yes, she Idolize you)
