[Intro]
Mmm, oh...
My, my, my, my, my, my baby
You're mine, mine, mine, mine
I'm gonna love you right, girl

You may be young but you're ready
(Ready to learn)
You're not a little girl, you're a woman
(Take my hand) Let me tell you, baby
I'm yours for the takin'
So you can (Do what you please)
Don't take my love for granted
You're all I (I'll ever need)
Hold me, hold me in your arms
(Oh...baby)
Never let me go

[Chorus]
(There's a right and a wrong way to love somebody)
A right way to love somebody, to love me right
(There's a good and a bad way to love somebody)
There's a good
Oh...whoa...oh...whoa...oh...

So don't play no silly games with me, baby

All I need is your loving here
(Hold me tight, baby, with the joy you can bring)
Mmm, take me I'm yours (Take me)
I'm willin' (Ooh, baby)
Hold me, hold me in your arms, hey, baby
(I don't want to let you go) Never let go
You, you're all I need in this world
(Oh...baby)
Ooh, you got to know, you better know
You better know my, my baby

[Chorus]

You know you mean the world to me, girl

Ooh...ooh...hoo...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
I want your lovin', girl
All night long, all night long, all night long, girl
We'll be like two lovers in a tree (There's a good and a bad way to love somebody)
Tweddle-lee-deeddle-lee-deedle-lee-dee
Me and you, girl (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Ooh, you know my love is right, why can't you see (There's a good and a bad way to love somebody)
We'll love each other eternally, just you and me, baby
Oh, oh, oh
You're a big girl now (There's a good and a bad way to love somebody)
No more daddy's little girl

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
