[BOTH:] How you gonna keep it after get it?

[MG:] I wanna know, sugar darlin', yeah
|
[BOTH:] How you gonna keep it after you get it?
|
[MG:] Oh baby,
|
[TT:] Sweet thing
|
|
[MG:] Now I think of games sometimes
|
But when it comes to this heart of mine
|
I don't miss a bus
|
If you ain't got the right stuff
|
So I'm laying it on the line
|
& it's somethin' you'd best be mine
|
Don't fight the fire without the words to give it up
|
|
[BOTH:] Oh how you gonna keep it after you get it?
|
[MG:] Oh tell me sugar, tell me sugar
|
[BOTH:] How you gonna keep it after you get it?
|
[MG:] I wanna know right now
|
|
[TT:] Listen, your sweet talkin' sure sound good
|
& your kissin' satisfied
|
& when you hold me in your arms
|
I get weak, I won't deny
|
But I'm not in for a one-night thrill
|
You've got to have enough love to pull us all over the hill
|
|
[BOTH:] Oh how you gonna keep it?
|
[TT:] I wanna know
|
BOTH: How you gonna keep it?
|
[TT:] I want you to think, think about it baby
|
Stop & start yourself
|
Don't let your mind ruin my heart
|
[MG:] Is what you're layin' on me fake
|
Or have you really got what it takes?
|
|
[BOTH:] Oh how you gonna keep it? MG: I wanna know
|
[BOTH:] How you gonna keep it?
|
[TT:] If I let you be careful with my ship
|
[MG:] How you gonna keep it?
|
[TT:] I wanna know, will you be able to hold your grip?
|
[MG:] How you gonna keep it?
|
|
[repeat & fade:]
|
[BOTH: ]How you gonna keep it? ...
