About You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)

When you want all the love you deserve
And the heat's on your mind
Don't you even think about it, I'll be there just wrapped around you
I can't hold back what I feel inside, it's just a fact

That you should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me
You should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me

And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
You should be mine, all mine

Any way that your heart has been denied
Ooh, you can come to me
Every time that we're together just becomes the good thing we've got
And something this good can't be defined, one thing's for sure

That you should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me
You should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me

And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
You should be mine, all mine

And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
You should be mine

In the height of your worry, worries runnin' too deep for you
When it all becomes too much, too much, too much, I'll pull you through
I can't hold back what I know inside, it's just a fact

That you should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me
You should be mine, anything you want
You got to fortify my love, you fortify me

And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
You should be mine, all mine

And you woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo-woo
And you woo-woo-woo
You should be mine

You should be mine
You should be mine
