| Girl, have you talked to your man yet?
|
| My man hasn’t even called me yet
|
| Then, what about you
|
| I haven’t talked to my man, either
|
| They have been gone too long
|
| This is just too hard
|
| Well, I knew it was going to be hard when they left
|
| But this is ridiculous
|
| He’s gonna have to do something real special
|
| When he gets back
|
| Well, whatever it takes
|
| I know I can’t always be there
|
| When you call my name, ah, yeah
|
| Sometimes baby
|
| I know you think it ain’t fair
|
| When I ain’t there
|
| But I care
|
| Well baby I know
|
| You got a life of your own
|
| You need something more
|
| Than just a romance on the phone
|
| Never forget, you’re not alone
|
| When something’s wrong
|
| Baby that just won’t do
|
| Because I don’t want to be without you
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| Stay as my lover
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| Stay as my girl, stay as my woman
|
| Others try to make you think you need
|
| Material things, ah, yeah (baby)
|
| Offer you a life that’s filled with greed
|
| But it don’t compare
|
| To what we share (our love is rare)
|
| Well baby I know |
| With all that’s going on
|
| I’m gonna do my best
|
| To just keep us going on
|
| Going on, going strong
|
| I just want to let you know
|
| That I’m never gonna let you go
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| (Whatever it takes, baby)
|
| Stay as my lover
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| Stay as my girl
|
| Our love is rare
|
| Baby, I know you got a life of your own
|
| You need something more
|
| Not another romance on the telephone
|
| Never forget, you’re not alone
|
| (When something’s wrong)
|
| Baby, that just won’t do
|
| I can’t have me, without you
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| (You stay)
|
| Stay as my lover
|
| (My baby, stay as my lover)
|
| Whatever it takes to make you stay
|
| (Stay baby)
|
| Stay as my girl
|
| (Stay as my lady)
|
| Our love is rare
|
| Whatever it takes
|
| My baby
|
| Whatever it takes, my baby girl
|
| If it takes the world
|
| I can’t live alone
|
| C’mon baby |
