Lyrics

Never Learn Not to Love

[Verse 1]

Cease to resist, come on say you love me

Give up your world, come on and be with me

I'm your kind, I'm your kind, and I see

Come on, come on, ooh, I love you, pretty girl

My life is yours, and you can have my world

I'm your kind, I'm your kind, and I see

[Chorus]

Never had a lesson I ever learned

I know I could never learn not to love you

Come in, now closer

Come in, closer, closer, closer, ahhhh

[Verse 2]

Submission is a gift, give it to your lover

Love and understanding is for one another

I'm your kind, I'm your kind, and I see

[Chorus]

Never had a lesson I ever learned

I know I could never learn not to love you

Come in, now closer

Come in, closer, closer, closer, ahhhh

[Outro]

Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhhhhh

Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhhhhh
