Make It Count

[Intro]
Take the rest of the night off, I'd like to walk from here...
Make it count, make it, ma-make it, make it, make it, ma-
Make it count, make it, ma-make it, make it, make it, ma-make it, make it

[Verse 1]
It’s common knowledge, love begins at home
I know you get my message loud and clear
I don't mind waiting by the phone
If what you have to say is music to my ears

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Hey! I don't wanna put demands on your time
You’ll never get that from me
Instead of counting the hours, we could bе together
I'm more concеrned with quality

[Chorus]
Make it count, hey! Baby, remove all of my doubt
Make it count, ooh, whoo...

[Verse 2]
Such little pleasure in just going through the motions
Lots of action, no appeal
Don't be too quick to make your move
Before you have the will, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Extracurricular activities scare me
Takes the wind outta my sail
If you want me, you got to have your exclusivity
Baby, like a carpenter when he puts the hammer (one time!) to the nail

[Chorus]
Make it count, you can believe it, oh
Long-term is what I'm all about
Make it count, you better believe I will, baby, make it

Make it count, make it, make it count, ooh, whoo... make it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don't wanna put demands on your time
(I'm not that kind) You'll never get that from me
Instead of counting the hours, we could be together
I'm more concerned with quality, you and me, baby

[Chorus]
Make it count, ooh, whoo...
This is not your fly-by night affair by no means
Make it count, you can believe it
You’re feelin’ the scheme of things... and my thing, baby
So don't fake, don’t shake it, baby, let's make it-make it count

[Bridge]
Makes it better when you know
The love you're gettin' is good to grow
You’re not just in it for the fun
I want you to know that you're my #1 (make it count)
You really want something you can feel
So you can pinch yourself to be sure that it's real
And baby, I'm feeling it too
'Cause like shockwaves, it went through

[Outro]
(Make it count) make it, baby (make it, make-make it)
We can make it, got to make it work out, ooh-whoo...
(Make, make, make it, make it, ma-make it)
(Make it count) Make it, baby, make it count (make it, make-make it)
Gotta be in it for the long term
(Make, make, make it, make it, ma-make it)
With the good kind of love that's for real
(Make it count) Make it, make it count, yeah...
(Make, make, make it, make it, ma-make it)
(Make it count) make it count...
(Make, make, make it, make it, ma-make it)
