Gotta Tell You Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Your love for me came as a waterfall
Flowing inside me like never before
Your love for me something I didnt see
But baby I know better now
When you walked in the room that very night
A special feeling just burst inside
It was only you nobody else
But baby I know better now
Dont wanna love you if you dont love me
Dont wanna need you when you wont need me too
Dont wanna tell you this now
But it wouldnt be right if I if i
Didnt tell you this tonight
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And now youre back inside my house again
Im trying deeply to explain
cos baby I wanna get it on
And baby youre the one for me woah woah woah
And now that I have got you all alone
After all this talking on the phone
I should be strong
Theres nothing wrong
Ill tell you this is where you belong where you belong
Dont wanna love you if you dont love me
Dont wanna need you when you wont need me too
Dont wanna tell you this now
But it wouldnt be right if I if i
Didnt tell you this tonight
Dont wanna love you if you dont love me if you dont love me
Dont wanna need you when you wont need me too
Dont wanna tell you this now
But it wouldnt be right if I if i
Didnt tell you this tonight
It was just something in your eyes
That made me realise
Now I hear voices deep inside
Telling me telling me its you and i
Dont wanna love you if you dont love me
Dont wanna need you when you wont need me too
Dont wanna tell you this now
But it wouldnt be right if I if i
Didnt tell you this tonight
Dont wanna love you if you dont love me if you dont love me
Dont wanna need you when you wont need me too
Dont wanna tell you this now
But it wouldnt be right if I if i
Didnt tell you this tonight
