Lyrics

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

(Eddie) I'm gonna do all the things for you
A girl wants a man to do, oh baby

I'll sacrifice for you
I'll even do wrong for you, oh baby

Every minute, every hour
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection
Look out it's comin in your direction
-----------------------
And I'm gonna make you love me
oh, yes i will yes i will
i'm gonna make you love me
oh, yes i will yes i will
-----------------------
(Diana) Lookey here....
My love is strong you see
I know you'll never get tired of me
Oh baby (sure won't)

And...
I'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey baby (Take me, I'm yours)

And every night, every day
I'm gonna say
Ii'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya
Look out boy cause I'm gonna get ya
-----------------------
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will,
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will
Yes i will (You know I will)
-----------------------
(Diana) Every breath I take
And each and every step I make
Brings me closer baby, closer to you

(Otis) And with each beat of my heart
For every day we're apart
I hunger for every wasted hour

(Eddie) ...........And oh
Every night
And every day
I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya
Look out cause
I'm gonna get ya
-----------------------
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will,
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh yes I will
