Testo If I Had My Way - Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes
Testo della canzone If I Had My Way (Millie Jackson & Isaac Hayes), tratta dall'album Royal Rappin's
Millie, I've been checking you all night
You know you've made several trips to the door
But you always find an excuse to come back
You really don't want to go
And I think I know why
I know you've been in love and been let down
You think the same thing happens, every time around
But I can turn it on and make it pay, oh, if I had my way
You're so afraid 'cause the hurt within you cries
That love is just another word for pain and lies
But I can reach right out and just hold you, oh, if I had my way
If you let me have my way, then I could show you
So just stay (Stay), stay here with me tonight
And feel what the feeling's like
Love (Love), over and over again
Let me take you where you've never been
As I'm holding you, I can see it in your eyes
Girl, you've never had your secret satisfied
But it could be the way that I told you
Just let me have my way
If you let me have my way, then I could show you
So come on and stay (Stay), stay here with me tonight
And just feel what the feeling's like
We'll make love (Love), over and over, over again
Let me take you where you've never been
So baby, won't you stay (Stay)
Let me, let me, let me love you
Come on and stay (Stay)
Don't leave, just can't leave
You've gotta stay (Stay)
If you stay, we can lay 'til the break of day
So (Won't you stay?)
'Cause I've been watching you and I know what's on your mind (Stay)
I'm not trying to take advantage of you
I'm here for you to take advantage of me
So facts change, ain't no robbery (Won't you stay?)
You've got what I need
And I think I got what you need, so (Stay)
We've got to get together
If we don't, when the sun comes up tomorrow
We might both regret it (Won't you stay?)
So don't try to play so hard, everybody got a weakness
I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours (Stay)
And mine is my head
I like for it to be, to be (Won't you stay?) stroked and stroked
So now you come on and (Stay) tell me yours
No, Ike
Come on
You see
What is it?
You famous for your head (Won't you stay?)
I mean your shiny head
And I don't wanna be just another head stroker, you dig?
And like all men, you'll be able to take advantage of the situation
Well, that's okay too, 'cause you can take advantage of me
(She don't know)
I don't wanna take advantage of you
Yes, you do
No, I don't
You know you do, I can see the vanity in you right now
(She don't know)
There's a whole lot of things I could do to you
But taking advantage wouldn't be one of them
(She don't know)
Well, okay, let's forget about the advantage
About these things that you can do to me
No
(She don't know)
What about?
I don't know, I shouldn't let you know about these things
Well, I wanna know
(She don't know)
See, you a worldwide man
You've been all around the country
All over in other countries getting all different kinds of loving
And you might have too much experience
(She don't know)
Make it too good to me
And I wake up in the middle of the night one morning
Or something other like that
(She don't know)
Thinking about you and all hell just might break loose
I don't know
Well, if it breaks loose, I'll be there
And speaking of me been all over the world
You've been all over the world too
(She don't know)
So I might be taking a chance, even exposing my feelings to you
Well, I must admit one thing
What's that?
A man of your caliber do deserve to have something as good as this
That's why I want it
You deserve no less than the best
Know what I mean?
Yeah, I know what you mean
But I don't know, you see
