I Don't Want To Be With Nobody But You
by: Dorothy MooreMan what's, what's wrong with you.....
Bet you think I don't love you, Baby
Bet you think that I, I don't care
But I wanna tell you, you got something
And I'm loving it with all my heart
I dont wanna have a part
I don't want to be with nobody but you, no no
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
Come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Don't you know that you can call on me Baby
All you gotta do is say you will
Cause I'm ready, just to love you
And put end to all your doubts
I know we can work it out
I don't want to be with nobody but you
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
Come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Man I love you, so but an end to your fantasy
Or you just might, just might blow if off
Get yourself together and Baby when you do
You gonna see, gonna see I' ve been true to you
Cause
I don't want to be with nobody but you, no no
I don't wanna be with no one but you
I wanna be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man
come on, rock me in your arms, cause I know you can
Can't you see that's you and me
Let us be, let us be for eternity
I wanna be, nobody but you
I love you with all my heart
I don't want that we never part
