Part of the Lyrics

[Chorus]
Give me your love
Give me your love
Give me your love
Give me your love
Give me your love
[Verse 1]
I want you so baby
Can't even get mad at you
What a thing
You really swing
And I feel so good it's true
You're such a gun
Make my lungs sigh
Breathin' in the air
Through lovin' you
I really know, child
Just how much I care
Give me your love
