F5
If you want some loving,
that I can give to you.
And if you want some hugging,
said I can hug some, too.

All I want, baby, now
is some thought of you

and just a little of your attention
you know, will see me through.(yes, yes - me through)

C#5                              C5
'Cause you know, that you're my kind
C#5                           C5     
And I want you to forever be mine
OW!        F5 
I idolize you (yes, she idolize you)
You know I idolize you (yes, she idolize you)

I would like to make love to you
When the lights are low (yes, yes down low)
And I would like to scream to you baby
Just so I can let you know (yes, yes you know)

And all I want baby now
Is some thoughts of you
F5
And just a little bit of attention
You know will see me through (yes, yes me through)

If you want me to beg to you
I'll forget my pride (yes, yes my pride)
I'm not ashamed of you baby

Is some small part of you
