(I can’t do it baby, what’s good, no)  Oh
(I can’t do it baby)

I’ve been loving you too long
I don’t wanna stop now  (I’ve been loving you much too long to stop now, ooh)
You’re tired and you wanna be free  (yeah)
But oh baby, your love has become a habit to me
I’ve been loving and loving and loving and loving and loving you too long
And I ain’t gonna stop now  (don’t wanna stop now)
I don’t wanna do it  (don’t wanna stop)

Baby with you my life
My life has been so wonderful, I don’t wanna stop now
(You lay it on me so good I don’t to stop now, yeah)
You’re tired and your love is growing cold
But my love is, as this affair grows old
I’ve been loving and loving and loving you too long, baby
You must be crazy if you think I’m gonna stop now

(Don’t wanna stop, no)  I said I can’t stop now
(Don’t wanna stop, no)  I think I loved so good to you no more
(Don’t wanna stop, no)  Until I think I need what you want

Baby, baby  (I can’t do it baby)
Yeah, yeah, I can’t do it  (I can’t do it baby, now that I know)
I can’t do it  (yeah)
I’d swear I, yes I am, oh, oh, oh
