[Verse 1]
When I saw you standing there
I 'bout fell off my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood rush to my feet
Huh, ooh
I said baby, oh yeah, huh!

[Refrain]
A-when I saw you standing there
Ha, I 'bout fell off my chair
Huh, and when you moved your mouth to speak
Huh, I felt a lot of blood rushin' through my feet
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Uh!

[Verse 2]
It took some time for me to know
Ha, a-what you tried so not to show
Ha, something in my soul just cri-i-i-ied
I feel the warmth of your lovin' eye
Oh yeah (Ha)
Uh!

[Chorus]
I said baby (Oh baby)
I'd love to love me (I'd love you to love me)
I'd love you to need me (I'd love you to need me)
The way that it should be, lord
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Chorus]
I said baby (Oh baby)
I'd love to love me (I'd love you to love me)
The way that I need (I'd love you to need me)
If you would only let it be

[Bridge]
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Ooh, I said baby (Baby)
Ooh, baby (Baby)
Oh (Ooh)
Ha!

[Verse 3]
It took some time for you to know, ha
Ha, you never let your feelings show
Ha, the obligation that you ha-a-a-ad
For the time that we both gave, ha!
Stick-a-stick-a-stick-a-stick-a-stick-a-stick

[Chorus]
I said baby (Oh baby)
I'd love to love me (I'd love you to love me)
The way that lovin' (The way that I love you)
The way that it should be, lord
Oh-ho (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ha ha)
I said baby (Oh baby)
I thought you done loved me (Just want you to love me)
The way that I love you (The way that I love you)
Ooh, if you all let it be (Let it be)
I said baby (I said baby)
I'd love to love me (I'd love you to love me)
Oh ho-ho-ho (The way that I need you)
Oh yeah, lord (Way that I need)
[Outro]
I said baby (I said baby)
I'd love to love me (I want you to love me)
Oh, I'd love you to need me (I want you to need me)
Lord, if you only let it be (Only let it be)
Ooh, I said baby (I said baby)
I'd love you to love you (I'd want you to love me)
I'd love to need you
