Ask Of You Lyrics

[Verse 2]
I'm not tryin' to put you on the line
But I gotta tell you what's exactly on my mind, girl
My big heart leads me right to you
Every time the phone rings
I pray to God that it's you, girl
Every time I close my eyes
A vision of your face always pops into my mind, girl
I would do anything to receive love from you
So show me the way that this could happen soon

[Refrain]
I'll be right there on time
It's your place or mine
Just show me the place
(I really love you) I really love you
(I love you, Deja) I love you, Deja

[Chorus]
Just give me all your lovin' (All your love)
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
(Give me everything I want)
That's all I ask of you
(I'm sure I can please you)
I'll kiss you anywhere (Anywhere)
Yes, love, even there
(I wanna kiss you right there)
That's all I ask of you
(Just stand right there, little girl)

Let's blow out the candles (Out the candles)
And see if I can handle (See if I can handle you)
That's all I ask of you
Little things I do (Little things)
It's just because of you
(Just because it's you)
That's all I ask of you (All I ask of you)
[Outro]
Yeah, all these things that I promised
I'll do 'em all for you
(That's all I ask of you)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(That's all I ask of you)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
(Just because it's you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
(Just because it's you)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Wow. Your best bet would probably be to do a search on eBay and see if it comes up. If it doesn’t, save the search and have eBay e-mail you whenever it finds something that may fit what you’re searching for. Sheet music isn’t very common anymore though, so best of luck!
