Well you started out wanting my body And I didn't mind 'Coz we liked each other And it also helped to pass the time Well everybody dreams of one And now I want you and not just for fun But if you've got no love to give Baby don't give it here If you've got no love to give Baby don't give it here I wanted you to be my lover I would be your friend And I'd wear the purple shirt 'Coz it makes you laugh And I would too Well if there's anything I can do I wanna do it And if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you If I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you Baby I wouldn't give it Your best friend's friend told someone I was the hurting kind And they've planted that seed And it's growing there in your mind Well if you're looking for a permanent mate Just accept me as your fate 'Coz if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you If I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you Baby I wouldn't give it to you I wouldn't give it to you Baby I wouldn't give it to you I wouldn't give it to you Baby I wouldn't give it
