Give A Little More
Lyrics:
[English]
Now you've been bad, and it goes on and on and on
'Til you come home babe, 'til you come home
Now you taste best
The poison I've learned to love has gone
I'm all alone baby, I'm all alone
I'm waitin' for somethin', always waitin'
Feelin' nothin', wonderin' if it'll ever change
And then I give a little more, ooh babe, o-o-o-oh
Give a little more, ooh babe, o-o-oh
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love
'Til I get a lil 'more from you baby, o-o-o-oh
Get a lil' more from you babe, ooh
...
You were wrong for turnin' me on and on and on
And on and on
You make it so hard
I'm waitin' for somethin', always waitin'
Feelin' nothin', wonderin' if it'll ever change (if it'll ever change)
And then I give a lil' more, ooh babe, o-o-o-oh
Give a lil' more, ooh babe, o-o-oh
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love
'Til I get a lil' more from you baby, o-o-o-oh
Get a lil' more from you babe, ooh
I have no defense
I know you're gonna get me in the end (gonna get me in the end)
And I cannot pretend
I ever want to feel this way again, o-o-oh
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love (not fallin' in love)
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love
'Til I get a lil' more (get a lil' more) from you baby, o-o-o-oh
Get a lil' more from you babe, ooh (yeah, yeah)
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love (yeah, yeah, not fallin' in love)
I'm not fallin' in love with ya, I'm not fallin' in love (yeah)
'Til I get a lil' more (get a lil' more) from you baby, o-o-o-oh
Get a lil' more (get a lil' more) from you babe, ooh
...
