Love Me In A Special Way - DeBarge

There's the mother now where's the child? I think it's on its own this time Nursing on bad advice So far the father doesn't have a trial He says "joint custody was never meant for me" And the neighborhood it was always packing Some arriving so romantic And some leaving what they planted We all say love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Simple as you can think Love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Simple as you can think Love me like I know you need Little girl do you see that light? It'll go out real soon if we don't see this through And maybe in the morning it'll be alright I can't make no guarantees Sometimes it's third degree Oh we're pushing our limits now Cause i know we deserve better And I know it'll take forever We all say love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Simple as you can think Love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Don't keep me weighed down Don't make me guess if you are there Ain't gotta be no flash around it Ain't gotta tell me where you've been Don't keep me weighed down Don't make me guess if you are there Ain't gotta be no dress around it Just gotta tell me how it is, in love Love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Simple as you can think Love me, love me Love me in the simplest way Love me in the simplest way

Don't you think things will work out eventually, eventually? Hold on You said it, you said it I'll take you at your word Promises that you can't keep It's getting harder to hold on You said it, you said it Don't ever let me fall Don't give up because you're losing You said it, you said it I'll take you at your word Promises that you can't keep It's getting harder to hold on You said it, you said it Don't ever let me fall Don't give up because you're losing
