Aah, love you, love you
 
Don't tell me that it's no use
Love's always been my excuse
Don't tell me it ain't right
My heart is my aliby
 
Only you, you
Get me acting crazy like I do, do
You say you can't believe it but it's true
Oooh, it's true
 
What do I have to do
To get the message through
How can I prove
That I really love you, love you
What do I have to do
To get it through to you
How can I prove
That I really love you, love you
 
There ain't a single night
When I haven't held you tight
But it's always inside my head
Never inside my bed
 
And it's you, you
Bringing out the passion in my soul, oh
And I gotta have you, don't you know
Oooh, don't you know
 
What do I have to do
To get the message through

What do I have to do
To get it through to you
How can I prove

Only you, you
Get me acting crazy like I do, do
You say you can't believe it but it's true
Oooh, it's true
 
What do I have to do
To get the message through
How can I prove
That I really love you, love you
What do I have to do
To get it through to you
How can I prove
That I really love you, love you
