Oh, you told me you were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say
It seems your best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay

I don’t mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I’m marking time,
If you got love to give,

Baby, I don’t mind

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love

You got fox eyes,
They burn like a sunrise,
You got a walk that makes a mans’ blood turn to wine.
You bought and sold me
For you lover,
As long as you feed me good, baby, I don’t mind

I don’t mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I’m marking time,
If you got love to give,
Baby, I don’t mind

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love

So you told me you were burned by holy water,
And the priest forgot the words
He was trying to say
It seems your best friend
Is your own reflection,
And no promise of love
Is gonna make you wanna stay

I don’t mind,
You can think it over slow,
And tell me what you find
I’m marking time,
If you got love to give,
Baby, I don’t mind

Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me loving,
Keep on giving me love
