I see myself when I look in your eyes
And all of the sadness you're keeping inside
Oh baby can't you see
If anyone knows, if anyone knows it's me
So many years I tried to pretend
That I would live on in silence my friend
Then something changed in me
Funny how love, it's funny how love sets you free
Don't run away
From my love it could save you
If only you'll stay
How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
"What can I do?" I hear you say
Feels like I'm frozen or driftin' away
Can my love unlock the door?
And you won't be lonely, you won't be lonely no more
Hold me, hold me tight and don't let go
There's just one thing that you got to know
And that is love it holds the key, baby
So why don't take it, why don't you take it from me
Don't run away
From my love it could save you
If only you'll stay
How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
Oh you just can't keep me away
Not another day, baby
You gotta open up and let me in
Don't try to run away 'coz I got so much to say
I could love you if you'd let me get close to your heart
How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart
There's no other love like you
Did you see that guy?
Which one?
You're so
Well he looked
He looks so fine
He were lookin' at you for sure
He weren't lookin' at me
So?
Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Sweet, my sweet, funky thing
Oh baby
Cherry kisses on a summer's day
You're the only one who makes me feel this way
My heart's on fire when I think of you
You stay on my mind, sweet like honey dew
I need you baby like a flower needs the rain
There's nobody who can make me feel the same
Sweet, your mine, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
My baby, oh
I need your loving baby, every day
I give it all to you boy when you say
I want your loving right here and now
You've got me burning inside and out
I need you boy, like a flower needs the rain
When you wash away the hurt and ease my pain
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)
If you're feeling the same my heart calls your name
The time is right for you and me tonight
My love runs so deep, it's yours to keep
Turn off the light, I know you want to be with me
Sweet, sweet funky thing
Baby you're the one who makes my heart sing
Sweet, my sweet, sweet funky thing
You know you're the one who makes my heart sing
I need your loving every day
Like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I think of you
And the special things you do
I need you baby every day
Like a flower needs the rain
Late at night I dream of you
And the special things you do
My sweet
(Sweet funky thing, my sweet funky thing)
