�I�ll Be Lovin� U Long Time�
by Mariah Carey
I�ll be loving you long time
You ain�t even got to worry
About a thing
I got you babe
And ain�t nobody taking me away
It�s not a game
I�m here to stay
Our love is stronger than any drug
Addictive, just can�t get
enough
And every time I�m with you
I want some more
Just close the door
And let�s explore each other
Chorus
Long as I know you got me
I�ll be loving you long time
There�s no stopping you and me
I�ll be loving you long time
Don�t care what no one has to say
They don�t understand us like we do
I need you near me night and day
Together there�s nothing we can�t do
Scoop me up and we can go
To that little spot
Where no one knows
Spend a little time, just us alone
You can caress my body
And never let go
(Chorus)
I don�t want another
Ain�t going to never be another
Can�t nobody do
What you do to me
(Chorus)
