LYRICS

Love's fever comin' on strong;
I don't want the fire without the flame, no...
Mother Nature gave me two hands to hold you;
I'm not talkin' pressures or material gains...
But M-O-N-E-Y never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N;
I'll never understand what people's heads are in, oh...
Ask me what I need...

I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time...
I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time, this will do...

Just a little lovin', this will do... (Just a little love...)
Just a little lovin' this will do... (La-la-la-la!)
Just a little lovin' this will do... (L-O-V-E, love...)
Just a little lovin', me and you...

Love's karma - so glad you're mine;
I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme, no...
Easy feelin', ooh, your love keeps getting better;
Say you'll leave me never, and together we'll fly...

'Cause M-O-N-E-Y never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N;
I feel it in my bones that you and I can win, oh...
Ask me what I need...

I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time...
I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time, this will do...

Just a little lovin', this will do... (Just a little love...)
Just a little lovin', this will do... (La-la-la-la, la-la!)
Just a little lovin', this will do... (La-la-la, la-la-la...)
Just a little lovin', this will do...

L-O-V-I-N (My baby...) - I need your lovin';
Just a little lovin', this will do...
L-O-V-I-N (My baby...) - I need your lovin';
Just a little lovin', this will do...

'Cause M-O-N-E-Y never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N;
I feel it in my third eye love will never end, oh...
Ask me what I need...

I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time...
I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time...

I need your lovin', yeah!
I need your lovin', or just a little time...
I need your lovin', and that's the bottom line;
I need your lovin', or just a little time, this will do...

Just a little lovin', this will do... (Baby, me and you, yeah!)
Just a little lovin', this will do... (I just need your lovin'...)
Just a little lovin', this will do...
Just a little lovin', me and you...

L-O-V-I-N... I need your lovin';
Just a little time, this will do...
L-O-V-I-N... (My baby...) I need your lovin';
Just a little time, this will do...

I need your lovin'!
I need your lovin'!

Just a little lovin', this will do...
Just a little lovin', this will do...
Just a little lovin', me and you...

(L-O-V-I-N...) My baby love me, and I love my baby back...

Ha, is that enough love?
