Danny and the Juniors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love
That's true, yes I do
'deed I do, you know I do
Gimmy, gimmy what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you
Give me, give me what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I die for
You know you made me love you
