[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
My attention’s elsewhere you been saying
Attentive to you less and less and less these days
I need you to know there ain't no games, no playin'
I don't want nobody else, this love is here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want is to be what you want
Baby, show me the way
[Chorus]
She said, "Love me tender, love me sweet
Love me like I'm all you'll ever need"
Then she said, "Touch me slowly, touch me slow
Handle me gently, that's all you need to know"
[Verse 2]
Ooh, baby girl, I know that I can bе distant
Charge it to my hustle and my bad intention
Want you to havе everything that you been missin' (Said I wanna be better)
I wanna be better, girl, instruct me and I'll listen, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want is to be what you want
Baby, show me the way
[Chorus]
She said, "Love me tender, love me sweet
Love me like I'm all you'll ever need"
Then she said, "Touch me slowly, touch me slow" (Oh)
"Handle me gently, that's all you need to know" (Woo)
[Bridge]
I can be selfish, yeah, okay (Yeah, okay)
Yeah (Yeah, okay, yeah)
I have a tendency to step in my own way (My own way)
Baby, I'd love you no less than the day that you said "yes"
So know I hear you clearly when you say, hey
[Chorus]
(Woo)
"Love me tender, love me sweet" (Baby, love me sweetly)
"Love me like I'm all you'll ever need"
Then she said, "Touch me slowly, touch me slow" (Ooh, touch me slow)
"Handle me gently, that's all you need to know"
[Outro]
Woah, baby
Woo, she said, "Touch me slow, handle me gently
That's all you need to know"
