[Verse 1]
Gimme little loving
Girl, just gimme little loving, baby, come-come
Gimme little loving
Girl, I want you by my side tonight
Gimme little loving
Girl, just gimme little loving, baby, come-come
Gimme little loving
Girl, don't wanna be alone tonight
[Verse 2]
See, I don't mind when you say (That's right)
That you're goin' away (Why don't you come on back, baby?)
I just don't wanna be lonely (Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight, no)
And I don't care if we share (Say what?)
Only moments a day (Moments a day)
I just don't wanna be lonely (Let me know, not tonight, I say)
[Verse 3]
Now girl, could you hold me?
Babe, that would please me
Don't do this darling
I hate when you leave me
You got me hooked, girl
This isn't easy
If you don't love me
Baby, release me
[Verse 4]
Girl, we could dine (Dine)
Pour us some wine
After the meal, we can unwind
Puttin' my heart back on the line (On the line, girlie)
Girl, it's a fact, you should be mine
[Verse 5]
But I made no plan to spend another long, lonely night
And a lay down in a mi bed a hug mi pillow up tight
No feel no way, a man can't take the fuss and the fight
But I'd rather make sweet love to you under the candlelight
[Verse 6]
I don't mind (That's right)
When you say (When you say)
That you're goin' away (No)
I just don't wanna be lonely tonight, baby
(Let's go tonight, girl, I love you so much)
[Verse 7]
And I don't care if we share (No, no)
A few moments a day
I just don't wanna be lonely
I need you, baby
[Verse 8]
Now listen to me please, I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin' you darling, put me at ease
What's with this feeling? I wish it would cease
My heart is held hostage, I beg for release
Why won't you reveal just what you feel? (All you feel, darling)
Let it out, baby, just to be real (Talk to me girl)
Girl, what you afraid of? (Let me know)
Why is it concealed? (Let me know)
I know what I bargained for and this ain't the deal (This ain't it, darling)
[Verse 9]
I made no plan to spend another long, lonely night
And a lay down in a mi bed a hug mi pillow up tight
No feel no way, a man can't take the fuss and the fight
But I'd rather make sweet love to you under the candlelight
[Verse 10]
I don't mind
When you say (When you say what?)
That you're goin' away
I just don't wanna be lonely, no, baby
(Lonely comes if you leave me alone tonight, I tell you)
[Verse 11]
And I don't care if we share
Only moments a day (No, sir)
I just don't wanna be lonely (Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)
Stay with me, baby
[Verse 12]
Love you, one smooch (That's right, that's right)
Rather get to know you, you know that smooch
(And a little company, that's what I need)
[Verse 13]
Gimme little loving
Girl, just gimme little loving, baby, come-come
Gimme little loving
Girl, I want you by my side tonight
Gimme little loving
Girl, just gimme little loving, baby, come-come
Gimme little loving
Girl, I don't wanna be alone tonight
