Give Me You Lyrics

Lyrics
Sexy words
(Sexy words)
Don't mean that much to me
'Cause I've heard just about everything
That a man could ever say to me
To make me stay, now I need more
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you
Spare me the parts
(Spare me the parts)
When you shower me with gifts
Don't send me cards no box of chocolates
And don't promise me the world
I'm not that type of girl that needs that to feel complete
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
And don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you, just give me you
Things on this world don't mean that much to me
I need your heart and I need honesty
If all you got is flashiness
Then please turn around and leave
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special I need something new
Just give me you, just give me you
All I need is you, give me you
Sexy words don't mean that much to me
Give me you, give me you
