Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should've been
Now I'm changed and it feels so strange
I come alive when she says all those things to me
And she says
(Come on) come on
(Come on) come on
I need you (come on)
I love you (come on)
I need you (come on)
Chorus
Please (baby) go all the way
It feels so right (feels so right)
Being with you here tonight
Please (baby) go all the way
Just hold me close (hold me close)
Bm Dm [1: G6 2, 3: E]
Don't ever let me go
(don't let me go)
