She always takes it with a heart of stone
’Cause all she does
It throws it back to me
I’ve spent a lifetime looking for someone
Don’t try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
’Cause I’m on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me, woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me
Don’t try to understand me
Because your words just aren’t enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Taking me higher
Love is a woman
I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me

You and your friends
Were laughing at me and talk
But it’s okay
And it’s okay
You won’t be laughin’, girl
When I’m not around
I’ll be okay
And I, I’d never find
Got a peace of mind, no

Don’t try to tell me
Because your words just aren’t enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin’ me higher
Talk to me woman

Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Love is a feeling
I don’t wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin’ me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me

I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to the fire
Talk to me, woman
Quench my desire
Act like a lady
Talk to me, baby
Give in to me
Give in to the fire
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Love is a woman
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
’Cause I’m on fire
Talk to me, woman
Quench my desire
Give in to the feeling
