When you make my love come down

D
Honey don't you fool around

[REPEAT Intro 2X]

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see
But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can't be found
Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay,
There's something I just got to say

[REPEAT Pre-chorus]
