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
