You know ladies and gentlemen
Please know this
I really love my man
And I want, exactly what he’s got
And I don’t ever mind giving him every
Bit of my love
And baby you know
I’ve got a lot to give

I got fire in my touch
There’s nothing I won’t do
And I bend over backwards
Just to give it all to you

Cause there’s only one man
That can handle all this love
Cause there’s only one man
That I want to be with tonight
Cause there’s only one man
That can squeeze me inside

The one man in my life
And that’s you, you and you and you

Cause there’s only one man
That can handle all this love
Cause there’s only one man
That I want to be with tonight
Said there’s only one man in my life
And that’s you
