Why don't you love me to pieces baby squeeze me till I'm crazy
Hold me the way you used to do
You know that my love is growing stronger and I can't wait no longer
Been saving my love just for you

Hold me thrill me squeeze me so tight miss me kiss me all day and night
Why don't you love me to pieces darling no use to us a falling
I only need your loving arms
You know that I'm so mad about you I couldn't live without you

I'm just wild about your charm

Hold me thrill me squeeze me so tight miss me kiss me all day and night
Why don't you love me to pieces honey squeeze me till it ain't funny
Give me the kisses that I crave

You know that I'll never ever leave you I'll never ever grieve you
You know I want to be your slave
