You're telling me we're cool 
But, that just ain't enough 'cause
Everything that you do
Makes me want you more.
Feelings that I have for you
Can't be replaced easily
But you see to think that
You have the best of me.

[Bridge]
But, my love is closed for you
Let nobody enter
Even when I'm with someone
Ain't the same when I'm with ya
(Please tell me) 
That you're listenin'
(Please tell me) 
That you're hearin' me 'cause
I'm gonna be here always!

[Chorus]
(Even if you gimme)
All your love
(Even if you gimme)
All your kisses
(It will be never)
(Even if you gimme)
All you love
(Even if you gimme)
All your kisses
(It will be never)
Give me all you love
Never be enough
Give me all you love
Never be enough

Even if you give me 'cause
I don't know that, baby
If it still will be but,
Every time I see you, boy
Ooh what you do to me
Make my body shiver, lift
Quiver, want to say your name
Lovin you is like an emotional ride
Here to stay

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Yo, don't give a f*ck about the money
And the bank you got
Love you the same 
Even if you give me trinkets stop
Got my heart in ya hands
And I think you know
Can't put a price on my love
And the way we grow
I think I
Melt inside when you look in my eyes
Baby all I see is you
F*ck them niggas who try
Don't ever worry about my loyalty
Tried the others and I'm cool
'Cause you treat me like I'm royalty
Been through the bullshit 
Been through the games
Been through the telephone arguments
With nothin ass games
All them crazy days you helped me maintain
Sometimes I think your love be keeping me sane
Never worry, daddy
I never goin' nowhere
Whatever happens, best believe
I'ma stay right here, yea
I need your kisses and I need your touch
Don't ever think I've had it all 
Cause it's never too much, come on.

Give me all your love
Never be too much
Give me all your love
Never be too much

[Chorus: x3]
