I am not in love, but I'm open to persuasion

East or west, where's the best for romancing?
With a friend I can smile, but with a lover I can hold my head back
And really laugh, really laugh

Thank you, thank you, thank you baby
You took me dancing across the floor, cheek to cheek
But with a lover I could really move, really move
I could really dance, really dance, really dance
I could really move, really move, really move yeah

If I can feel the sun in my eyes and the rain on my face
Tell me why can't I feel love
Really love, really love, really love, really really love, really love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Now I got all, all the friends that I want
Oh yeah I may need more
But I think I'll stick to those that I have got
With friends I still feel so insecure
Little darling I believe you could help me a lot
Help me a lot baby
Just take my hand and lead me where you will, where you will
I said no conversation, no wave goodnight

Just give me love
Make love with affection, sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication (sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it)
You know that's what I like, love, ooh-whoo, once more with feeling
Oh give me love, give me love
Oh give me love, love

Make love with affection, sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication (sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it)
You know that's what I like, love, ooh-whoo, once more with feeling

Make love with affection, sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication (sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it)
You know that's what I like, love, ooh-whoo, once more with feeling

Make love with affection, sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication (sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it)
You know that's what I like, love, ooh-whoo, once more with feeling

Make love
Make love
Make love
Give me love
Give me love
