|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
What I would give to hold you

Maybe I never told you

Every night you fill my dreams

I got the feeling so bad

I need your love, can't hold back

You're living deep inside of me

'''(Pre-Chorus)'''

What I want

Got to have it, in my heart

Baby I got it

I've made up my mind

'''(Chorus)'''

I wanna be loved by you

Whatever you want me to

You know I'll do

Now I'm gonna prove

That I really need you

I wanna be alone tonight

Say you wanna hold me tight

Dim the lights

To make everything alright, yeah

'''(Verse 2)'''

I never thought love could be

All of the things you bring me

But you be the answer to my prayers

'''(Pre-Chorus)'''

You know my life

Is what you make it

Here comеs the night

We got to take it

I've made up my mind

'''(Chorus)'''

I wanna be loved by you

Whatever you want me to

You know I'll do

Now I'm gonna prove

That I really need you

I wanna be alone tonight

Say you wanna hold me tight

Dim the lights

To make everything alright, yeah

'''(Bridge)'''

You're what I want

And I gotta have it

Ready or not

Baby you got it

I've made up my mind

'''(Chorus)'''

I wanna be loved by you

Whatever you want me to

You know I'll do

Now I'm gonna prove

That I really need you

I wanna be alone tonight

Say you wanna hold me tight

Dim the lights

To make everything alright, yeah

I wanna be loved by you

Whatever you want me to

You know I'll do

Now I'm gonna prove

That I really need you

I wanna be alone tonight

Say you wanna hold me tight

Dim the lights

To make everything alright, yeah
