[Intro]
Anything you want, baby
Anything your heart desires
Because you've been there for me (Truly there for me)
I'm gonna give it to you, listen

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, mmm
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Anything you want)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you, girl)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Verse 1]
Anything you want, I'm gonna give it to you, girl
Because when I was down you always lifted up my head
Gonna show you all the love I have in store for you
I gotta let you know that I am truly down with you, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, mmm
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Anything you want)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you, girl)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Verse 2]
Like no other homie, you are always there for me
The only girl I know that truly satisfies my needs
When I was down and out you were hangin' by my side
And now that I am rollin' you, you'll always be my ride, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, mmm-mmm
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Anything you want, baby)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you, girl)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Verse 3]
Taking me to church on Sunday morning, girl, is cool
Because I found a blessing and some happiness in you
Whenever there is darkness, gee, you brighten up my day
I thank the Lord for you because you understand my ways, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Anything you want)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Verse 4]
When I look at you, I see the breaking of the day
I'm mighty glad to know that Heaven sent your love my way
It's something about the way you do your lovin' when you do
And now until forever, baby, I'll be lovin' you, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Anything you want)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Bridge]
You were always there for me, you know what I'm sayin'?
So today I'm takin' you out buy you somethin' real nice
Baby, girl you know that everything is gonna be alright
I'm gonna be here for you until the day becomes the night

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Oh, anything you want, babe)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'm gonna give it to you, babe)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(I'll be right there, yeah)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

[Outro]
From the bottom of my heart, yes
I promise me we will never part
Let's say a prayer together
Say a prayer together, baby
Can we say a prayer together, baby?
Heavenly Father, which art in Heaven
I pray that You keep this love together
This is my prayer, baby, baby, baby
I love you
