The more I get, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want from you, baby

Give me habit, I just can't kick
'Cause it's your love I'm so happy with
There's no other, I can't compare
'Cause when I want your love, you're always there
You always give me what I want without knowing it
You always give me what I need when I need it
I don't ever want our love to end
'Cause I want that good thing over and over again

The more I get, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want
The more I get it, the more I want from you, baby
The more I want from you baby

Too much of anything ain't good for the soul
If you got too much, you just might lose control (that's what they say)
Every time I get it I just want more
'Cause each time I get it, that thing gets better
You always give me what I want when I want it
You always give me what I need when I need it
I don't want you to take your love and go
That's why I ain't ashamed to let you know

(I've gotta tell you baby)
The more I get, the more I want (I can't help it, baby)
The more I get it, the more I want (oh yeah)
The more I get it, the more I want from you, baby
I can't help the way I feel about you baby (I want from you baby)

Just can't get enough
Can't get enough
Swear to God you make me a happy, happy man

Just can't get enough
Can't get enough
I ain't gonna change baby, no, I'mma stay just the same

Just can't get enough
Can't get enough
Hey, I need your love, yes I do

Ooh

Oh well
Well
Since I need your love
I need it so bad
Ah

Just can't get enough (I can't get enough of your love)
Can't get enough
Don't you ever take your love from me child

Just can't get enough
Can't get enough
I don't know what I'd do

Well, see your love is so good to me
And I've got to have it the rest of my life
Just can't get enough
Can't get enough

Just can't get enough (don't you do it)
Can't get enough (don't you do it)

Just can't get enough (don't you do it)
Can't get enough (don't you do it)

Just can't get enough (don't you do it)
Can't get enough (see I, see I, I-I)

I can't get your love
I can't do it

You better believe it
Got something special
Make me feel like I want to feel
You know how to do that thing to me
