Soul Provider Lyrics
Michael Bolton
Lyrics
Talk about love, talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever, baby
When you're talkin' 'bout us
I give you my word, stick to my guns
Believe me, when I tell you, baby
That we've just begun
You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan
Baby, I wanna be soul provider, yeah
Baby, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
Just say you'll let me and, darlin', I will, I will yeah
I know you've been hurt
I know your loves shy
You don't have to say it, baby
It's gonna take some time
You got my heart in the palm of your hands
Swear, it's gonna stay there, baby
Give me half a chance
You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
And, baby, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
Just say you'll let me and, darlin', I will
I've been waitin' for a long time for somebody like you
To give my love, all my love day and night oh
Just say you'll be mine for the rest of your life
Baby, I'll show you why
I wanna be soul provider
Baby, I wanna be soul provider, yeah
Oh honey, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be, wanna be your soul provider, yeah
Baby... Talk about love... Talk about trust...
I wanna, I wanna be, baby, I wanna be your soul
Your soul provider...
