Got some loving
That I wanna give you, babe
Got it by the pound, girl
Yes I have, now, huh

When you get it
It's such a strong love
It's gonna knock you down, girl
Yes it is, now, huh

I got some love
I can't control it, baby
It's like a hot wire
Runnin' on the floor, baby

I got some loving by the pound
And by the hundreds, honey
Loving by the pound
And by the hundred

Got some
I wanna tell you baby
Got a mastermind, girl
Yes I have, now, huh

Now, when I get to you
I won't give it to you
I got to take my time, girl
Yes I have, now, huh

I got some love
And I can't control it, baby
It's like a hot wire
Runnin' on the floor, baby

I got some loving by the pound
And by the hundreds, honey
Loving by the pound
And by the hundred, baby, yeah

Alright, I got it
I got some loving by the pound
And by the hundreds, babe
Loving by the pounds

And by the hundreds, honey
Loving by, loving by the hundred
I got it, I got it by the ounce
I got it by the pound

I got it by the ton
Got it by the hundreds, honey
Got some strong love

When I get to you, baby
Got to take my time
I got to give it to you
Such a strong love, baby

Good, good lovin'
And I want to give it to you
Good, good lovin', honey
Baby, you got it, honey

I want to give it to you
Baby, you gotta, gotta, gotta get it
You got to have it, honey
