Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “give/giving.”
Recorded by R&B singers Babyface and Toni Braxton, Give you My Heart was part of the soundtrack for the 1992 film, Boomerang, starring Eddie Murphy and Halle Berry. The collaboration was released as a single the same year, reaching #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (behind another song from the Boomerang soundtrack, Boyz II Men’s End of the Road).
The song can be found on two of Braxton’s greatest-hits albums, 2003’s Ultimate Toni Braxton and 2007’s The Essential Toni Braxton, and as a B-side on some editions of her 1993 single Another Sad Love Song.
The upscale R&B Remix version is played during the end credits of Boomerang.
Enjoy!

Give You My Heart
by Babyface & Toni Braxton
Songwriter: Babyface, L.A. Reid, Daryl Simmons, Boaz Watson
[Verse 1: Toni Braxton]
Your love’s so exciting
Boy, I can’t deny it
Since you found a place in my heart
Giving me a feeling
Ooh
It’s such a feeling
I pray that we never will part
How can I explain it?
Please hear what I’m saying
You bring so much joy to my life
Words cannot express
So much happiness
I’ll forever be by your side
[Chorus:]
And I will give you my heart
And I will always be true to you
And I will love you forever
If I could just make love to you
Make love to you
[Verse 2: Babyface]
Girl, I must confess it
You’ve been such a blessing
Never felt so good in my life
You know how to take it
I know how to give it
We both always have a good time
[Toni Braxton:]
I hear what you’re saying
Lord knows you ain’t playing
Ain’t no doubt that I’m satisfied
[Babyface]
And I’ll keep it coming
Keep bringing the loving
So baby
Bring your loving
Every morning, noon and night
[Repeat Chorus x2:]
And I will give you my heart
And I will always be true to you
And I will love you forever
If I could just make love to you
[Bridge:]
Oh
Give me just a minute
And I’ll jump right on in it
We can make love under the stars
All year pleasure
Pleasure
I’ll be yours forever
Girl, I’ll never leave now
I’ll be there to please you
We won’t have to worry at all
[Repeat Chorus x3:]
I will go all the way down
I’ll make it feel so good
I wanna do you right
If I could just make love to you
[Repeat Chorus x2:]
