Verse:
You know I can be found,
Sitting home all a-lone,
If you can’t come a-round,
at least please tele-phone.
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
 
Baby, if I made you mad
for something I might have said,
Please, let’s forget the past,
the future looks bright a-head,
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
I don’t want no other love,
Baby it’s just you I’m thinking of.
 
Don’t stop thinking of me,
Don’t make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what I want you to say.
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
Why should we be a-part?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.
 
Let’s walk up to the preacher
and let us say I do,
Then you’ll know you’ll have me,
and I’ll know that I’ll have you,
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
 
I don’t want no other love,
Baby it’s just you I’m thinking of.
 
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
 
I don’t want no other love,
Baby it’s just you I’m thinking of

Verse:
I will never run out of love for you
I’ll never run out of love

Midnight, don’t seem right
I lie awake just wonderin’ about you
B (Riff #1)
Wound up much too tight
Can’t think about livin’ without you
The day you put your spell on me
I guess I was the last to know
So, please remember before you go

Chorus:
That I will never run out of love for you
I’ll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love

Verse:
For so long, deep and strong
Love flowed mighty as a river
B (Riff #1)
Long road, heavy load
Hard times couldn’t keep us apart
Never thought you would break the promise, oh no
Now it seems there’s a part of me that just can’t let you go
So, please remember that you can come back home

Chorus:
I will never run out of love for you
I’ll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love

Bridge:
No, no baby, don’t you leave me
No, no baby, don’t go
No, no baby, if you run away
I still hope you know
I need you so
I can’t take no more

Chorus:
I will never run out of love for you
I’ll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love

I will never run out of love for you
I’ll never run out of love
I will never run out of love for you
Got more than enough, more than enough
No, I will never run out of love

And it sure feels good
It makes me feel better
Do I look like a should?

Get me on the tour bus
Then put me on a plane
Take me to the city
Before I go insane

[Pre-Chorus]

I can feel, I can think, I can show ya
What you want, what you need, get to know ya
I don’t care what they say all the time
Believe me, you’re gonna feel fine

It’s been a long time coming (long time coming)
It’s been a long time coming down (long time coming)
It’s been a long time coming (long time coming)
It’s been a long time coming down (long time coming)

Shake it, shake it, shake it
About to blow my mind
A real pole grinder
I leave all my troubles behind

What you want, what you need, get to know ya

Well I’ve been around here for way too long
It’s really time to go
But there’s reasons for my madness
Though it doesn’t show
I sit and wait and contemplate what am I gonna say
When the telephone rings I hear her voice
She speaks that special way

Alright now, little sister
Wait all night for the call
She’s alright with me

She’s so hot, she’s on fire
Oh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oh little sister

Sun goes down when she gets up
I don’t think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

Something’s flowing through my veins
What it is I don’t know
It’s a three alarm fire in my heart
Hope it doesn’t show
Call the doctor, call the judge, justice of the peace
Pluck this flower in full bloom this relative’s no niece

Alright now, little sister
Wait all night for the call
She’s alright with me

She’s so hot, she’s on fire
Oh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oh little sister

Sun goes down when she gets up
I don’t think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister

I’m at the crossroads waiting for a call
Back against the wall again
But I’m not just expecting anyone
When I get the call that says it all
She says yeah (Robin, I’ll be right over)

She’s so hot, she’s on fire
Oh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oh little sister

Oh, I like it when you talk dirty to me

She’s so hot, she’s on fire
Oh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oh little sister

Sun goes down when she gets up
I don’t think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
Little sister, little sister

She’s so hot, she’s on fire
Oh little sister
Fills me up with desire
Oh little sister

Sun goes down when she gets up
I don’t think I can get enough
Little sister, little sister
