Lyrics
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Eddie) I'm gonna do all the things for you A girl wants a man to do, oh baby
I'll sacrifice for you I'll even do wrong for you, oh baby
Every minute, every hour I'm gonna shower you with love and affection Look out it's comin in your direction ----------------------- And I'm gonna make you love me oh, yes i will yes i will i'm gonna make you love me oh, yes i will yes i will ----------------------- (Diana) Lookey here.... My love is strong you see I know you'll never get tired of me Oh baby (sure won't)
And... I'm gonna use every trick in the book I'll try my best to get you hooked Hey baby (Take me, I'm yours)
And every night, every day I'm gonna say Ii'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya Look out boy cause I'm gonna get ya ----------------------- I'm gonna make you love me Ooh yes I will, Yes I will I'm gonna make you love me Ooh yes I will Yes i will (You know I will) ----------------------- (Diana) Every breath I take And each and every step I make Brings me closer baby, closer to you
