The O'Jays - Sure Would Be Nice

Copied!

Sure would be nice
To get you girl
To soothe the burdens
I have to bear (Sure would be nice now)
Sure would be nice
Being in your company
Do I make myself clear?
Oh baby, sure would be nice
I have magic to keep you near to me
Sure would be nice
Sure would be nice, hey-yeah
Sure would be nice to have you near me
Sure would be nice
To capture your heart
And you wanted me, dear (Sure would be nice now baby)
Sure would be nice
Keep on tellin' myself
That I've cried my last tear (Sure would be nice now baby)
Listen baby, sure would be nice
Having love for each other
Year after year
Sure would be nice
Be so nice, yeah-yeah
Sure would be nice to have you near me
Listen baby, you walk around
With your head in the air
Confusing my emotions and you don't care
But for once in your life
Please try to be kind
'Cause I want you baby
You've got to be mine
Sure would be nice
If you needed me
As much as I need you (Sure would be nice now baby)
Sure would be nice
Most of all
That you're here to stay (Sure would be nice now baby)
Listen baby, sure would be nice
Lovin' you for the rest of my life
Sure would be nice
Don't you know
If you needed me (Sure would be nice now baby)
The way I need you
Be so nice if you wanted me (Sure would be nice now baby)
The way I want you darlin' (Sure would be nice now baby)
Just to love me too, baby
(Sure would be nice now baby)
It would be so nice
If you wanted me (Sure would be nice now baby)
If you love me
If you needed me baby (Sure would be nice now baby)
Oh baby
Be so nice (Sure would be nice now baby)
(Sure would be nice now baby)
