Oh, ooh, ooh

I don't wanna hear no trouble talk
People telling me what they seen you do
Girl, we got understanding and I don't wanna ruin it
If I wanna find something wrong, I'll go catch you doing it, woo

You got what I need baby (don't wanna lose you)
I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
Oh, so I'm gon' give you respect (respect) and I want to protect (protect)
Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm gonna act so naive
When people tell me you gon' deceive me
You're the only one who's brought me peace and joy
What we share, Lord knows, I ain't about to destroy

Oh, baby (sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
Ooh, so I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh (sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)

Woo, sugar, you possess all the things I been searching for
You're the only one I worship and I adore
What you got, baby, so many fellas are trying to find
Not gonna fix it so some other guy can beat my time

(Ooh, sugar, sugar, now)
I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)
Ooh, so I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (yhis love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh ooh (give you respect, wanna protect)
Little girl (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, so I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect
Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You deserve it, baby (give you respect, gotta protect)
Oh, this love of ours, yeah, yeah (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)
