Used to be that I believed in something   Used to be that I believe in love   It's been a long time since I've had that feeling   I could love someone   I could trust someone   I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'   I said I'd never let nobody in      But if you asked me to   I just might change my mind   And let you in my life, forever   If you asked me to   I just might give my heart   And stay here in your arms forever   If you asked me to   If you asked me to      Somehow ever since I've been around you   Can't go back to being on my own   Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you   That I've found my home   That I'm finally home   I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'   I said I needed, needed to be free      (But if you asked me to . . . )      Ask me to, I will give my world to you baby   I need you now   Ask me to, I'll do anything for you baby   For you baby      If you asked me to   I'd let you in my life forever   If you asked me to . . .
