You say that you want me I hope that you do Cause tell me just where I would be in this world Without someone like you When you say that you need me Like only you can Oh baby you don't really know what you've done To the heart of this man So baby tonight we will celebrate And talk of the times til it gets real late Yes baby tonight we'll appreciate Just what we've got So let the good times rock Oh when you squeeze me And say that you care There's nothin' I know that could drag me away When that feelin' is there Oh the way that you move me And makin' me feel Well I could have sworn that I lived in a dream If it wasn't for real Oh baby tonight we will celebrate...
