You say you're steady and you're committed But last night you weren't around when I needed you You keep on talkin', but I need action This divided affection just won't do I hate to give you an ultimatum But when I'm in love, I want it all the way That's the bottom line If you really wanna keep my love Can't be givin' up what's mine Oh, that's the bottom line I can't settle for a part time thing Need your lovin' all the time No imitations, give me the real thing Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me' Cause if you're fakin', don't be mistaken I'll be out the door, before you count to three I hate to sound uncompromising But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool Oh, that's the bottom line If you really wanna keep my love Can't be givin' up what's mine Oh, that's the bottom line I can't settle for a part-time thing Need your lovin' all the time If you really wanna get my love You gotta give me your lovin', no strings attached If you really wanna keep my heart You gotta jump it and do it, no turning back And I hate to sound uncompromising But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool Oh, that's the bottom line If you really wanna keep my love Can't be givin' up what's mine Oh, that's the bottom line I can't settle for a part-time thing Need your lovin' all the time That's the bottom line If you really wanna keep my love Can't be givin' up what's mine Oh, that's the bottom line I can't settle for a part-time thing Need your lovin' all the time That's the bottom line If you really wanna keep my love Can't be givin' up what's mine Oh, that's the bottom line I can't settle for a part-time thing Need your lovin' all the time
