Lyrics: It’s the lovin’ things you do That make me grow so close to you Gonna want you my whole life through For the lovin’ things, baby that you do It’s the lovin’ things you say That give me comfort every day By your side I’m gonna stay To hear the lovin’ things, baby that you say Since that day our love began I’ve become a new and happy man I can hold my head up high When you are near I touch the sky With your soft and sweet caress You brought me such tenderness To think I was once forsaken With your kiss I’ve been awakened It’s the lovin’ things you do That make me grow so close to you Gonna want you my whole life through For the lovin’ things, baby that you do Then you walked into my life Said how you’d soon end all my strife With a smile from your young face You gave me back my inspiration Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
