Lyrics
Well
When I’m with my baby
I feel alright
You know you make me wanna shout
Kick my heels up and shout
Throw my hand up and shout
Throw my head back, shout
Come on now (shout)
Don’t forget to say you will (shout, shout)
And don’t forget to say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (shout)
Say it right now, baby (say you will)
Come on, come on (say you will)
Say it right now, oh (say you will)
(Say)
Say that you love me (say)
Say that you need me (say)
Say that you want me (say)
You’ll never leave me (say)
Alright (say)
Alright (say)
Alright (say)
I still remember
When you used to be nine years old, yeah, yeah
I was a fool for you
From the bottom of my soul, yeah, yeah
Now that you’ve grown up, up
Enough to know, yeah, yeah
You tried to leave me
But I never could let you go, yeah, yeah
I want you to know
I said I want you to know right now
You’ve been good to me, baby
Better than I’ve been to myself, hey, hey
And if you ever leave me
I never want nobody else, hey, hey
I said I want you to know
I said I want you to know right now
You know you make me wanna shout
Kick my heels up and shout
Throw my hand up and shout
Throw my head back, shout
Come on now (shout)
Don’t forget to say you will (shout)
Don’t forget to say
Wait a minute
