[Intro]
It feels so good
You lying here next to me
Oh, what a groove
You have no idea how it feels

I just wanna hold you
Run my fingers through your hair
Ooh

Uh-huh, right there, you like it like that
Closer
Come here, closer, close
Oh, baby

No doubt
I'm so in love with you
For me there's no way out, 'cause

Deeper and deeper
In love with you I'm falling
Sweeter and sweeter
Your tender words of love keep calling
Eager and eager, yeah
To feel your lips upon my face
Please her and please her
Any time or any place

I'm gonna love you, love you, love you
Just a little more, baby
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you
Every day, yeah

Oh, stop that babe
'Cause I swear to God you understand

That I'm really here
It's like, it's like sometimes baby
You are somethin', you are somethin'
Such a groove, it's hard to believe you're really there doin' it
You hear what I'm sayin'?
Baby, don't stop
I swear, don't stop
Hey hey hey hey, yeah
Ohhh baby, that's outta sight
Uhh huh huh
Ohh baby, ohh baby
That's what I'm saying
Oh I love you, I love you, I love you

[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you
Just a little more, baby
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you
Every day
I'm gonna want you, want you, want you
In every way, yeah

[Outro]
Stick to me
Stick
Oh get down, baby, get down
Down down

Barry White (born Barry Carter) was a Grammy-winning singer and producer born in Galveston, Texas, who has sold over 100 million albums and is known for his distinctive smooth, deep, soulful voice – earning him the nickname “the walrus of love”. White has earned an astounding 106 gold albums, 41 of which also attained platinum status.

At eight years old, White sang in his church choir. But by the age of sixteen, his brother had been murdered in a gang fight, he’d quit school, had two children and was sitting in jail when hearing Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now Or Never” inspired him to fly straight and pursue a career in music. He played bass for The Upfronts before releasing music under the name Barry White and as Lee Barry.

White found his first success as a writer and producer in the late 1960s with Felice Taylor’s UK hit “I Feel Love Coming On”. Then his soul trio Love Unlimited reached the US top 20 with their first single “Walkin' in the Rain with the One I Love” in 1972. White scored his own top ten hit the following year with “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby”, then his first #1 with “Love’s Theme” under the name of his backing band Love Unlimited Orchestra in early 1974.
