Lyrics[]
I can't remember (???)
Nor can I read into your mind
Just wanna hear the call (???)
All I want to feel is the love you've got inside
If I could love your every weakness
I'd be in total ecstacy
You make feel like (such a), such a man
All I want to give is, my lovin' totally
But when you're not around I just don't feel myself
My heart can't feel unfulfilled
But when the day is done I get the love I need
You're the one I please
That I please
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
Look what we have
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
(???) [here/help]
But when you're not around I just don't feel myself (just don't feel myself)
My heart (???) feel unfulfilled
But when the day is done I get the love I need
You're the one I please
You're the one I please
That I please
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
Sing it with me
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
If you read my mind
Sing it with me
If you read my mind
