Only you can make my heart do a dance
Only you can put me in love's trance
Let me know somehow that I stand a chance
It’s important to me that you love me too
Love me too, love me too, love me too

Only you can make this girl say yes
About my love for you, there's no second guess
Kiss me, darlin', and I’ll do the rest
It's important to me that you love me too
Love me too, love me too

Only you can set my soul free
Love is sweeter when we give equally
Me for you and you for me
It's important to me that you love me too
Love me too, love me too

'Cause you get on me together
When I'm broken in two
With your sweet lovin', baby
I can see my way through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Only you lift me up when I'm down
Make me smile when they all make me frown
Just say the word love all around
It's important to me that you love me too
Love me too, love me too
Love me too, love me too, love me too

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mm-hmm, yeah, ah-ah...

Mmm, ’cause it’s important
That you love me too

I need your love
You got to love me too
Love, love, love, yeah
Love, love, love, yeah
Love, love, love, yeah
Love, love, love, yeah

Love, yeah, love, yeah
Love, yeah, love, yeah
Love, yeah, love, yeah
Love, yeah, love, yeah
Oh...
