Gotta Have You

Never been too much for watching

Cause there's too many things to view

And when eyes begin to wander

They more than likely never get through

But beyond my own temptation

I'm enticed by what I see

And I won't feel satisfaction

Until she's where I want her to be

I gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

I gotta make you my reality

I gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

Come on girl, make you my reality

Never been too much for talking

Cause there's too many things to say

And by the time that I start speaking

The right moment has slipped away

But I must break this old tradition

And try to muster up the words

And though someone else may have said them

I'll say them in way you've never heardI gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

I've gotta make you my reality

I gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

Come on girl, make you my reality

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby

(Repeat)

Never been too much for touching

Cause there's too many things to feel

Plus there's too much disappointment

When you find out those feelings ain't real

But here's a time when inner senses

Are gonna have to shine the light

Cause I have overly committed

Myself in thinking that you're alright

I gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

I gotta make you my reality

I gotta have you, I gotta have you

I gotta have you for me

You are a sight for sore eyes to see

Come on girl, make you my reality

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be reality, baby

(Repeat)
