I Want To Do More (10-22-55)

I want to do more and more for my baby
I want to do more to make you understand
I wanna do more and more for my baby
Oh yeah
I want you to know that you’re my lover man
We used to go together like a hand in a glove
Live on a shoestring a whole lotta love
My clothes were ragged and my shoes were thin
But my baby stuck with me until the end
Gotta do more and more for my baby
Oh yeah
I gotta do more to make you understand
I wanna do more more more more more for my baby
I want you to know that you’re my loverman
Used to hug and squeeze and hold me tight
Gimme your love with all your might
You used to make me laugh, and that ain’t all
You used to take a little nip and have a ball
Gonna do more and more for my baby
Um-hmmm
I wanna do more to make you understand
I gotta do more and more for my baby
Uh-huh
I want you to know that you’re my loverman
Break
You used to hug and squeeze and hold me tight
Gimme your love with all your might
You used to make me laugh, and that ain’t all
You used to take a little nip and have a ball
Gotta do more and more for my baby
Oh well
I gotta do more to make you understand
Oh ho
I gotta do more more more more more for my baby
Uh huh
I want you to know that you’re my lover man
Well, yes you are
You’re my loving daddy
Ooooh, yes you are
You’re my loverman
