Lyrics:

“Don’t Make Me Come Over There And Love You”

Don’t make me come over there and love you
I’d be beside you in a single bound
Don’t make me come over there and love you
‘Cause I will right nowI don’t need any explanation
For why I crave all your honey talk
Don’t make me come over there and love you
‘Cause it’s a short walk

You better tone down your persuasion
Start behaving before I go and fall apart

My heart’s been on a long vacation
But now it’s beating like a cha, cha, cha
Don’t make me come over there and love you
‘Cause I will right now

You better tone down your persuasion
Start behaving before I go and fall apart

Don’t make me come over there and love you
Because it’s looking like the perfect spot
Don’t make me come over there and love you
And give all I got

Don’t make me come over there and love you
‘Cause I will right now
Yes, I will right now
Don’t make me come over there and love you
