Lyrics[edit | edit source]
If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away
If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away
Yes, I thought you were a mystery girl
A special girl in this crazy old world
You couldn't sit here while I layed my hands on you
Lonely is only a place you don't know
What it's like, you can't find it
It's a hole in my heart, in my heart
If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away
You hold the secrets of love in this world
I'm hypnotized by your every word
A special place, a special push, a special smile in my life
Cause lonely is only a place you don't know
What it's like, you can't find it
It's a hole in my heart, in my heart
If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away
If you want my love, you got it
When you need my love, you got it
I won't hide it
I won't throw your love away
