Why you always got to be so cool And why I always got to play your fool You don't really know what life's about Baby come and let your feelings out Say you really want me Don't keep it to yourself Say you really need me Just me and no one else Say you really love me Ooh let me know it's true Say you really want me The way that I want you tonight You don't know a thing about romance Deep inside you're scared to take the chance 'Cause love like this may never come again Make your move or I'll be in the wind I need somebody through the thick and the thin 'Cause I know the problems of today The time is over now for playing those games Lets take it all the way
