I am not in love
but Im open to persuasion
East or West
wheres 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 I can feel the sun
in my eyes
and the rain on my face
why cant 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 things 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 thats what I like
once more with feeling
give me love
give me love
give me love
love...
