Try Me Lyrics
Esther Phillips
Lyrics
If you really wanna know if I can stand your brand of love,
Try me.
Why don't you try me?
If you wanna know if I'm affected by the moon above,
Then try me.
Come on and try me.
Don't you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I'm thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don't you know my soul's on fire,
And I need your lovin' so much.
If you really wanna know if I am longing for your kiss,
Then try me.
Why won't you try me.
If you think that I'll get weak in a cozy spot like this,
Please try me.
I beg you, try me.
If you're wondrin' 'bout the magic in stars and soft caresses
There's only one way to know if it's right:
Just take me in your arms, baby, and try, try me tonight.
Don't you know my heart feels a strong desire
When I'm thrilled by the warmth of your touch?
Baby, don't you know my soul's on fire,
And I need your lovin' so much.
Just take me your arms and try me tonight
I want you to take me in your arms, and come on, and try me tonight
I beg you, try me, try me, try me, try me tonight.
