Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
I will follow you wherever you go
‘cause I like the way you act (I like the way you act)
You don’t have to own a big fine home
Or drive a new Cadillac
Some cars have past, but yours will last
Just as long as you park it in our driveway of love
It will be alright
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
‘Cause it’s all about the way you love
And I like a man who’s confident (A man who’s confident)
How to make the best of what he’s got
And baby with you, that’s evident
(So) So just say you’re mine or just one thing
To buy my wedding ring
‘Cause your lovin’ is all I need
If you stay with me
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Remember baby! (It’s not what you got)
No! (It’s how you use it)
Remember baby! (It’s not what you got)
No! (It’s how you use it)
Oh (oh), honey (ah), I like it
(I like you to you make me feel brand new)
Oh (oh), honey (ah), I like it, yeah
(I like you to you make me feel brand new)
Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
Oh, baby love
Remember baby!
It’s not what you’ve got
It’s how you use it
Remember baby!
It’s not what you’ve got
It’s how you use it
‘Cause it’s all about the way you love
And I like a man who’s confident (A man who’s confident)
How to make the best of what he’s got
And baby with you, that’s evident
(So) So just say you’re mine or just one thing
To buy my wedding ring
‘Cause your lovin’ is all I need, lovin' is all I need
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Remember baby! (It’s not what you got)
No! (It’s how you use it)
Remember baby! (It’s not what you got)
No! (It’s how you use it)
(It's not what you've got, its how you use it)
(It's not what you've got, its how you use it)
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Just remember this time
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
Don’t forget it when you hold me close
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it
(It's not what you've got)
