I never shoulda lied so I could see you
It was the only way that I could get you alone
Oh, I had you on my mind for a long time
No business being in Carolina
I just needed to know the man behind those lonesome eyes
You wanted me too but you were too shy
I want you to take me with a slow and steady hand
Love me like a warm and tender man
If it hadn't worked out like I planned
I'd still be waitin', oh
Now that I have you here
I wanna hold you for a hundred years
Oh, I never would have known love
If I never stayed the night
Baby, I was wonderin' without you
No direction till I made my way to you
Oh, I was so lost but I never knew
Oh baby
Take me with a slow and steady hand
Love me like a warm and tender man
If it hadn't worked out like I planned
I'd still be waitin'
Now that I have you here
I wanna hold you for a hundred years
Oh, I never would have known love
If I never stayed the night, ooh, yeah, ooh
If it hadn't worked out like I planned
I'd still be waitin'
Yeah, I'd still be waitin'
Now that I have you here
I wanna hold you for all my years
Oh, I never would have known love
If I never stayed the night, yeah
Oh, I never would have known love
If I never stayed the night, ooh-ooh
If I never
If I never stayed the night
If I never
If I never stayed the night
If I never
If I never stayed the night, uh-uh
