(William Bickelhaupt)

I didn't wanna tell ya I love you
I was so afraid you turned me down
I kept my feelings all inside me
But now I gotcha here beside me
I've got to let (let) you know

I didn't wanna tell ya I love you
I thought maybe I should keep (keep) it cool
I can't continue this evasion (no more)
Perhaps a little sweet persuasion
Well, let me tell you

Hey, boy, (you and I) you and I could be joy
Let me be your lady, I want you for my man
(I want you, need you for my man)
Oo-oo-ooh wee, boy, (tell me) am I just a new toy?
What'chu gonna do, boy, if it's so hard to understand?
(Didn't wanna tell ya, didn't wanna tell ya)
Uh-uh! Ohh!

I didn't wanna tell ya, but now you know
I think I know for sure tonight's (tonight's) the night
I got ya here, now let me hold you (real close)
You let me know you'd glad I told you
Come let the feeling go-o-o-o-o...

I didn't wanna tell ya, uh-uh
Ahh, didn't... wanna... tell ya... no
Yea... [laughing]

Aahhh, hey, boy, (you and I) you and I could be joy
Let me be your lady, I want you for my man
(I want you, need you for my man)
Oo-oo-ooh wee, boy, (tell me) am I just a new toy?
What'chu gonna do, boy, if it's so hard to understand?
(Didn't wanna tell ya, didn't wanna tell ya, whoo!)

Ohh... I didn't wanna tell ya
No, I.. I didn't wanna tell ya, I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna

[interlude]

Ohh, I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
