Lyrics
I don’t need the fourteenth (the fourteenth)
To show how much you mean to me
The one thing (the one thing)
That helps me keep my sanity
You bring (you bring)
So much joy and energy
Whoa, hold on (hold on)
Wait a minute (wait a minute, now)
Light my fire, take your time
Electrify my lovin’ (hey)
Cross my heart, hope to die
‘Tis the season for cuffin’ (okay)
One day of the year
Ain’t enough for my baby, no
No, one day just ain’t right
So will you be mine? (Will you be mine? Will you be mine?)
My forever valentine? (Forever valentine? Forever valentine?)
Come on, baby
Say you will, and make me the happiest man alive
Baby, will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
It ain’t gotta be February (no, no)
To break out some whipped cream and strawberries (no, no)
Ooh, you already know, uh
That my girl get what she want
Queen of this love, Queen of my heart
Whoa, hold on (hold on)
Wait a minute (wait a minute, now)
Light my fire, take your time
Electrify my lovin’ (hey)
Cross my heart, hope to die
‘Tis the season for cuffin’ (okay)
One day of the year
Ain’t enough for my baby, no
One day just ain’t right
So will you be mine? (Will you be mine? Will you be mine?)
My forever valentine? (Forever valentine? Forever valentine?)
Come on, baby
Say you will, and make me the happiest man alive
Baby, will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
This the part we dance (dance)
This the part we groove (groove)
Lemme see your hands (lemme see ’em now)
If you feel it in the room (come on)
Ladies, if you with the one you love
Let me hear you sing, “Ooh-wee” (ooh-wee), “Ooh-wee” (ooh-wee)
And fellas if you with the one you love
Then sing, “Sha-ba-duba-do-do-dwee” (Sha-ba-duba-do-do-dwee)
Sound good to me
Ladies, if you with the one you love
Let me hear you sing, “Ooh-wee” (ooh-wee), “Ooh-wee” (ooh-wee)
