Love me, if you want to
If you need to, I'll be there for you
When you see me, in the doorway
On the stairway, I'll be there for you
Love me, don't leave me, if you've gotta have me
Then have me but better take care of your baby
You know I'll take of you better than anyone ever
Could try to take care of you, baby
Love me but better beware that I like to take care of
The one that I'm calling my baby
Baby, don't try to deny
that we're here so we better be clear
We're going to be here a while
That's just my style

Have you, if I want to
If I need to, you'll be there for me
When I see you, on the carpet
Or in the market, you'll be there for me
Love me, don't leave me, if you've gotta have me
Then have me but better take care of your baby
You know I'll take of you better than anyone ever
Could try to take care of you, baby

Love me but better beware that I like to take care of
The one that I'm calling my baby
Baby, don't try to deny
that we're here so we better be clear
We're going to be here a while
That's just my style
I've been going in circles
Beware I'm the star of this circus
And I need someone
who's gonna be stickin' around for the show
I've been caged up for years
I've been trained to swallow my tears
I need someone who's gonna stand by me
Someone who's fast enough for me
But baby be ready to tell me
you'd rather be taking it slow
I gotta know

Love me, don't leave me, if you've gotta have me
Then have me but better take care of your baby
You know I'll take of you better than anyone ever
Could try to take care of you, baby
Love me but better beware that I like to take care of
The one that I'm calling my baby
Baby, don't try to deny that we're here
so we better be clear
We're going to be here a while
That's just my style
