Lyrics
If you want my lovin'
If you desire my affection
If you really do
If your feelings are genuine
Don't be afraid, baby, just ask me
Don't hesitate, just ask me for it
You know I'm gonna give it to you
I will definitely give it to you
Oh, I do declare (I do)
Expressing assurance or certainty
I wanna see you with it
Expressing a desire to witness you having it (love/affection)
Stretch out your arms, little boy you're gonna get it
Openly offering love or affection, using endearment
Cause I love you
Stating affection directly
(Baby baby baby I love you)
Reiteration of love using endearing terms
Ain't no doubt about it
Confidently asserting the absence of uncertainty
Baby I love you
Expressing love directly
(Baby baby baby I love you)
Reiteration of love using endearing terms
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Repeated declaration of love
Baby, I love you
Directly expressing love
If you think you wanna kiss me
Expressing openness to affection or a romantic gesture (a kiss)
Go right ahead, I don't mind
Encouraging the act of kissing, indicating acceptance
All you got to do is snap your fingers
Simple gesture required to gain attention, indicating readiness to respond
And I'll come a runnin, I ain't lyin' (ain't lyin')
Ready and willing to respond promptly, emphasizing sincerity
Oh, what'cha want, little boy, you know you got it
Expressing willingness to provide what's desired
I'd deny my own self before I'd see you with out it
Ready to sacrifice own desires to fulfill the other person's needs
Cause I love you
Direct expression of love

Confidently asserting the absence of uncertainty

Someday you might want to run away
Anticipating the possibility of the partner leaving
And leave me sittin' here cryin'
Expressing potential sadness if the partner chooses to depart
But if it's all the same to you baby
Expressing a desire to prevent the partner from leaving
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye (goodbye)
Intent to stop the partner from bidding farewell
Baby I love you
