[Verse 1]
I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or west, where's the best for romancing
With a friend, I can smile
But with my love I can hold my head back
And really laugh, really laugh
[Verse 2]
Thank you
You took me dancing
Cross the floor, cheek to cheek
But with a love I can really move, really move
I can really dance, really dance
Now if I can feel the sun in my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I, feel
[Chorus]
Love and affection
Sing me a love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it (sing it), sing it (sing it), yeah
[Verse 3]
With friends I still feel so insecure
Little darling, I believe you could help me a lot, yeah
Just take my hand and lead me where you will
No conversation, no wave goodnight
[Chorus]
Make love, with affection
Sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it, sing it, yeah
[Chorus + Breakdown]
Make love, with affection
Sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication
Sing it (sing it), sing it, yeah
You know that's what I want
So sing it, sing it, sing it, oh
Give me love, give me love
Love, love, oh yeah
Give me love, love, love, love
[Chorus]
Make love, make love
Make love, with affection
Sing me a love song
But this time with a little dedication
