[English]

Give you all the lovin' that your heart

Give you all the lovin' that your heart desires

One day you say you love me, the next you tell me you don't

One day you say you will, but the next you tell me you won't

Hey little baby, there ain't much point me hanging around (yeah)

(Give you all the lovin)

One day you make me feel that your love is in my hands

One day you'll say you'll stay, the next you're changing your plans

Hey little baby, there ain't much point in hanging around

(Ain't much point in hanging around yeah)

Cos if you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy

It's kinda funny that you think that I'm the boy to make you cry

I can make you happy, if only for a while, little baby, oh little baby

I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires

If you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy

I said it could be the price of love, could be the price of hell

What am I guilty of

Why do you make me wait

So long I don't know your intentions

Look to the skies above, I'm in the hands of fate

Push 'til it gets to shove, I've got to know

Oh, for heaven's sake

Is this love (is this love) is the love or invention

Baby can't you say

I've found another fantasy

...

Give you all the lovin' that your heart (oh yeah)

Give you all the lovin' that your heart

Give you all the lovin' that your heart desires (something sexy)

Baby can't you say

I've found another fantasy

You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry

I can make you happy, if only for a while little baby, oh little baby

I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires (heart desires)

I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires

Oh yeah, I'm gonna make you feel so sexy

If only for a while little baby, oh little baby

I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires

If you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy

You take someone's heart and you kick it around

Keep on picking up so you can watch it come down

I don't know what I'm supposed to do while I wait for you

To make up your mind, could you please be so kind

When you know what to do, I'll be in the next room

But if you leave it too late, I may be in the next day

If you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy

If you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy

If you ain't got time for me

I'll find another fantasy
