You don't know me, baby,
Like I know myself.
I just want to love you, baby,
But you leave me on the shelf.

[Chorus:]
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
But you don't even know my name.

Let me tell you something,
I swear to God it's true.
If you give your love to me,
I'm gonna give it all to you, you know it's true.

[Chorus]

They may kill me, baby,
And bury me like they do.
My body will lie, but my spirit's gonna find
Only you.

[Chorus]
