Lyrics

If you had a dollar, and I had a dime I wonder, could I borrow yours as easy as you could mine? Because when you need my love, and I give time after time And turn around to find me no returns, then, my friend, you've used my dimes! If there's water in the pitcher, and we both need a drink To stay alive, my darlin', I'd need less water than you think My love, my love, these things, I swear, I say are true And all I'm really saying is be as good to me as I am to you Oh, yeah Listen to this! Some people want, but they don't wanna give They can do all of the wrong in the world And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of loving me! Starting today, tomorrow, and forevermore If you can't find it in your heart to do for me Then, baby, just don't darken my front door! Baby, I want you to be as good to me as I am to you Whoo, baby! I don't think that's asking you too much to do Listen! Don't you walk around here, feeling like you can treat me any ole way Using my love, my time, my heart, day, day after day Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, be as good to me as I am to you Whoo! Whoo! Baby
