Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I want security, yeah

Without it I'm a great loss, oh, now

Security, yeah

And I want it at any cost, oh, now

[Verse 2]

Don't want no money right now-na-now-na-now-na-now

I don't want no fame, but security

I have all of these things, yeah

All of these things, yeah, now

[Verse 3]

Security, yeah

That's all I want from you, oh now

Security, yeah

And a little love that will be true, oh

[Verse 4]

Those sweet tender lips you know

They tells me that

You're the one for me

Darling, how can I forget?

How can I forget? Yeah, now

[Verse 5]

I want security, yeah

I'm tellin' you, won't say again, oh, now

Security

And I want it in the end, whoa

[Verse 6]

Those sweet tender lips you know

They tells me that

You're the one for me

Darling, how can I forget?

How can I forget? Yeah, now

[Outro]

Come on, with just a little bit of soul

Now, now, baby

No, everything's gonna be alright

One more time

Just one more time

[Outro]

Baby, don't it, don't it sound good pretty good right now? It should

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby

A little, a little, little security right now, baby

Come on, come on, yeah
