Baby, baby, when I look at you

I get a warm feeling inside

There's something about the things you do

That keeps me satisfied

I wouldn't lie to you, baby

It's mainly a physical thing

This feeling that I got for you, baby

It makes me wanna sing

I feel for you

I think I love you

I feel for you

I think I love you

Baby, baby, when I lay wit' you

There's no place I'd rather be

I can't believe, can't believe it's true

The things that you do to me

I wouldn't lie to you, baby

I'm physically attracted to you

This feeling that I got for you, baby (Ooh baby)

There's nothing that I wouldn't do (For you girl)

I feel for you

I think I love you

I feel for you

I think I love you

Play

I think it's love

I feel for you

I think it's love

I feel for you

I think I love you

I feel for you

I think it's love

Play

I feel for you

I think I love you

I feel for you

I think I love you
