Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love is what I want, oh yeah
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
Talk is what I want
What I want
Oh yeah
What I want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
[PreChorus]
Talk
Come on, let's talk about it
Talk
Can't seem to do without it
Out it, talk
Don't want to be one of the broken-hearted
[Chorus]
So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken-hearted
River's deep and wide
[Verse 2]
All I want is love
What I want
Oh yeah
What I want
All you gotta do is listen to me, baby
What I want, what I want
[PreChorus]
Think
You've got to think about it
Think
And do something about it
'Bout it, think
No use complainin' when it's over
Over
[Chorus]
So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken-hearted
River's deep and wide
[PreChorus]
'Cause life gets tougher every
Day
Day, if you can't afford to
Pay
Pay, even so, you've got to carry on
Carry on
[Chorus]
So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken-hearted
River's deep and wide
[Chorus]
Lift me up
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken-hearted
River's deep and wide
[Outro]
Lift me up
Oh yeah, now
Lift me up, oh
The river's deep and wide
