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 a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh


Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move


Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love


I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love


Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure


Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection


Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love...
