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
