When I hear Aretha Franklin sing those words, I hear God speaking to each of us:
If you want my lovin’ / If you really do / Don’t be afraid baby
Just ask me / Ya know I’m gonna give it to you / Oh and I do declare (I do)
I wanna see you with it / Stretch out your arms little boy / You’re gonna get it / ‘Cause I love you, oh (Baby, baby, baby I love you) / There ain’t no doubt about it / Baby I love you (Baby, baby, baby I love you) / I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, baby, I love you.
If you feel you wanna kiss me / Go right ahead I don’t mind /
All you got to do is snap your fingers / And I’ll come a runnin, I ain’t lyin’ (I ain’t lyin’) /
And oh what you want / Little boy you know you got it /
I’d deny my own self / Before I see you without it / ‘Cause I love you /
Ain’t no doubt about it baby I love you (Baby, baby, baby I love you) /
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, baby I love you.
