Lyrics:
 

If you wanna be loved, baby, you've got to love me, too
If you wanna be loved, baby, you've got to love me, too
Oh yeah, 'cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair

If you wanna be kissed, well, you've gotta kiss me, too
Oh yeah, if you wanna be kissed, well, you gotta kiss me, too
Oh yeah, 'cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair

1. Well, fair exchange bears no robbery
And the whole world will know that it's true
Understanding solves all problems, baby, that's why I'm telling you

2. If you wanna be hugged, well, you gotta hug me, too
Oh yeah, if you wanna be hugged, well, you've gotta hug me, too
Oh yeah, 'cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair

If you know you can't take it, then, baby, why try to give it?
If you know you can't take it, then baby, why try to give it?
'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair

1. 2. (Repeat)

'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair
'Cause I ain't for no one-sided love affair
