LOVE ME (RESPECT)

[Verse 1] Baby, when you been alone Heart turned into stone And you’re tryna hold onto hope With the last ounce of it Two steps back Ain’t the way to go I know what that distance feels like When you give your heart And you don't know If they feel the same way too Got me overthinking Every little thing you do Tryna read between the lines While I'm losing my mind Wondering if you want me too Tell me how you feel Baby, tell me what is real I don't need no perfect words I just need to know If your heart beats for me The way mine beats for you No [Chorus] L-O V-E M-E Love me H-O L-D M-E Hold me L-O V-E M-E Love me S-T A-Y W-I-T-H Stay with me [Verse 2] Maybe if I played it cool I wouldn't feel like such a fool Maybe if I held my tongue I wouldn't want you this much But I can't pretend That you're just a friend When you got me feeling so alive Every time you smile Makes it all worthwhile Every time you're by my side You make my world slow down When everything's spinning round And I forget the things that hurt You don't have to change You don't have to rearrange Just let me know I'm worth your time 'Cause I don't want perfection I just want affection And a love that feels like mine No games, no lies Just look into my eyes And tell me you feel it too 'Cause if I'm giving you my heart I need to know from the start That I'm not alone in loving you [Chorus] L-O V-E M-E Love me H-O L-D M-E Hold me L-O V-E M-E Love me S-T A-Y W-I-T-H Stay with me [Verse 3] Lover, dreamer That's what I've become Searching for somebody I can give my heart to Someone I can trust Someone I can touch Someone I can come home to I don't need diamonds I don't need fame I don't need somebody Who can buy me everything Just give me your time Give me your heart And I'll give you everything I've been hurt before But I still want more I still believe love can be real So if you take my hand I'll do everything I can To show you exactly how I feel And if the whole world Turns its back on us I'll still be standing next to you 'Cause all I really need Is you next to me And a love that's honest and true [Final Chorus] L-O V-E M-E Love me H-O L-D M-E Hold me L-O V-E M-E Love me S-T A-Y W-I-T-H Stay with me L-O V-E Y-O-U I love you H-O L-D M-E Don't let go L-O V-E M-E Love me S-T A-Y F-O-R Forever
