[Intro]
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
Oh, pa-pa-ba-da
I hope you're gonna
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no, no, my love, ah
You're gonna make it worth
I just wanna tell ya how I feel, woo!
[Verse 1]
If my body was a boat, could you steer that, sailor? (Mmm)
Make it feel like it's a 1960's Hollywood trailer (Old-school, I like)
Classic like cars, classic like Elizabeth Taylor (Taylor, Taylor)
Uh, need you to romance me, yeah, I need a giver, not a taker
(Ooh, it's what I need, yes, 'cause)
[Pre-Chorus]
I could love you
If I really wanted to
You could be, be my glass of wine
When the sun set, help me exhale all the excess
[Chorus]
Baby, bae, b-b-bae-b-b-baby, would you?
Would you make it all right? (Mm)
Or make it that much better?
If you wantеd, you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you makе it that much better
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I'm 'bout to give you, baby
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it (Mhm)
[Verse 2]
This is the night
(Something 'bout it's making me cry)
My soul, it did decide
(Feel my body shiver in your moonlight)
And I need you to
(Let me have the time of my life)
Checked your credentials, South residentials
Ooh, baby boy, you got so much potential
[Pre-Chorus]
I could love you
If I really wanted to
You could be, be my glass of wine
When the sun set, help me exhale all the excess
[Chorus]
Baby, bae, b-b-bae-b-b-baby, would you? (Oh, baby, would you?)
Would you make it all right? (Would you make it all right?)
Or maybe that much better? (Maybe that much better babe)
If you wanted, you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it (If you wanted to, oh)
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you make it that much better
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I'm 'bout to give you, baby
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
[Bridge]
Drip me out in six-carat Cartier rings, baby (Babe)
Top floor in the penthouse
Sipping on Chardonnay 2016, baby (On the top floor)
Something like a dream, baby
Somehow I'm so captured by you
I'm rearranging all of my plans
And I'm holding my breath
As I hope you make it worth it
[Chorus]
Would you make it all right? (Right)
Or maybe that much better? (My baby)
If you wanted you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you make it that much better
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I'm 'bout to give you, baby
So I hope you're gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you're gonna make it all (Worth it, worth it, worth it)
[Outro]
This is the night (This is the night)
My soul, it did decide (Worth it)
And I need you too (I need you too)
I'm all in, I can’t reverse it
So I hope and pray you make it worth it (Ah, ooh, ah, yeah)

The happiest song on the album. Recorded entirely with live instruments, strings and brass, this song is warm and hopeful. It makes me optimistic for brighter days and finding love that completes the picture.
