Stand and deliver
Stand and deliver!

You made me a promise
Sealed it with a kiss

Had me thinking everything was go.
It was good from the start
I loved you from my heart

Why do you want to stop the show?

I've got it
Baby
You can make it better
Baby
Say you will

It's driving me mad
'Cause I love you

There's so much more to say
Don't leave me this way.

Stand and deliver

Can't you see me coming
Baby
Don't close the door.
Stand and deliver

You might be missing something that you never had before.

Thought we'd go the distance
Now there's some resistance

You're telling me you're not too sure.
Love only has a shot if you give it all you've got

And girl
You've got to give some more.
Feel like I'm on the outside
Tossing like a leave in the wind

If I had to start all over without you
Wouldn't know where to
Begin.
'Cause you are all that I need and I want you bad enough to keep on
Trying.

Stand and delive

Give it up
Give it up, come on and make a stand 
You gotta
You gotta
You gotta.
You know that you are so right for me

I know that I'm right for you
Stop hesitating!
You are all that I need and I want you bad enough to keep on trying.

Stand and deliver

Feel like I'm outside
Baby

Can't you see me coming
Baby
Don't close the door.
Stand and deliver
You might be missing something
Yeah

You might be missing something
Yeah
Stand and deliver!
