Angels beating all their wings in time  
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes  
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you  
Come on up now, come on up now, come on up now

May the good Lord shine a light on you  
Yeah, make every song you sing your favorite tune  
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah  
Warm like the evening sun  
Now, now, now, yeah

And if you really love me, won’t you tell me?  
And if you really love me, won’t you tell me?  
And if you really love me, won’t you tell me?  
Then I won’t have to be  
Playing around

If you love me let me know  
If you don’t then let me go  
I can’t take another minute  
Of a day without you near

If you love me let it be  
If you don’t then set me free  
(Take the) take the chains away  
That keep me loving you

f you need somebody, call my name  
If you want someone, you can do the same  
If you wanna keep something precious  
Gotta lock it up and throw away the key  
You want to hold on to your possession  
Don’t even think about me

If you love somebody  
If you love someone  
If you love somebody  
If you love someone, set them free

I’m a man  
Can’t you see what I am?  
I live and I breathe for you  
But what good does it do  
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got? Baby

You don’t know what it’s like, baby  
You don’t know what it’s like

To love somebody  
To love somebody  
The way I love you, oh no, no

I got a Maserati G.T.  
With snakeskin upholstery.  
I got a charge account at Goldblatt’s,  
But I ain’t got you.

I got a closet full of clothes,  
But no matter where it goes,  
It keeps a ring in the nose,  
But I ain’t got you.

I’ll buy you a diamond ring my friend

Money can’t buy me love

I’mma get blunt, I’mma get twisted  
Took your two cents, turned them into seven figures  
I don’t know my, I don’t know my way around a kitchen  
If I let you eat it, I’mma make you do the dishes  
When I get dressed, I’mma look sexy  
Wear a little less, I’mma let you undress me  
Your friends don’t like it, but they can keep quiet  
'Cause they like stupid girls too

The soft little things on the floor that you step on  
They can all be dangerous  
Sometimes the milk can hurt you  
(If you put it on your cereal  
Before you smell the plastic container)

And the stuff in the strainer  
Has a mind of its own  
So be very careful  
In the dangerous kitchen

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon,  
The place that I eat every day at noon.  
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know,  
Once they wrap it up in dough, boy.  
They fry it real crisp in dough.

And he runs both ways through all the stores  
He works up an appetite that way
