[Intro]
I love to love ya (Uh-uh)
(Sabor!)
[Verse 1]
I can't stop dreaming about you
Your eyes make me melt away into the day
One kiss on my neck drives me crazy (Crazy)
One touch leads you close enough
For you I crave
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't got a worry in the world
Ain't got nothing to care about
when you're around I can't be down
Ain't gotta hold me back from nothing
Ain't got a problem in the sky (In the sky)
Ain't gotta ever ask me why
When you're around there ain't no doubt
You ain't gotta hold me back just let me go (Go)
[Chorus]
Watch me get down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
Go (Go)
Watch me go down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
[Verse 2 ]
I just can't help myself (Yeah)
I can't live one day without you
No stopping the way I feel, it's so surreal
Make me go (Ooh)
Boy, I lose it
I just can't control myself, it's so intense
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't got a worry in the world
Ain't got nothing to care about
when you're around I can't be down
Ain't gotta hold me back from nothing
Ain't got a problem in the sky (In the sky)
Ain't gotta ever ask me why
When you're around there ain't no doubt
You ain't gotta hold me back just let me go (Go)
[Chorus]
Watch me get down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
Go (Go)
Watch me go down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
[Bridge]
I wanna hold you wherever you are
There ain't no time that's wrong
Ain't no place that's too far
Not a care in the world
Just for you, just for me
Where a boy loves a girl and that girl
That girl is me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't got a worry in the world
Ain't got nothing to care about
when you're around I can't be down
Ain't gotta hold me back from nothing
Ain't got a problem in the sky (In the sky)
Ain't gotta ever ask me why
When you're around there ain't no doubt
You ain't gotta hold me back just let me go (Go)
[Chorus]
Watch me get down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
Go (Go)
Watch me go down and go (Go)
When I come around just let me go
I love to love you
[Outro]

I love to love you, I love to love you
I love to love you, I love to love you
Yeah, you're like that
Do you love me?
