[Verse 1]
Let me tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna try to get next to you, yeah
It ain't gonna be no pick and choose
Love is a game that I hate to lose, yeah

[Bridge]
I'm not speaking for nobody else
I'm only speaking for myself
Hey

[Verse 2]
Check out in your mind, what I'm saying
Give or take, Lord knows I've been praying
Nothing you can do, nothing you can say
I'm coming after your love any way

[Hook]
I'm just letting you know, I'm gonna be
Wide open

Hey, hey, hey, hey, well, well

Let me tell you what I'm all about
I believe in letting it all hang out
Let me tell you what I'm all about
I believe in letting it all hang out, now
I'm wide open, hey
For you, baby, yeah

For your love, sho'nuff for your love

I know that anything goes for you

For your love (Wide open for your love)
