  • Used to be that
    I believed in something
    Used to be that
    I believed in love
    It's been a long time
    Since I had that feeling
    I could love someone
    I could trust someone
    I said I never let nobody
    Near my heart again, darlin'
    I said I never let nobody in

    But if you asked me to
    I just might change my mind
    And let you in my life forever
    If you asked me to
    I just might give my heart
    And stay here in your arms forever
    If you asked me to
    If you asked me to

    Somehow ever since
    I been around you
    Can't go back to being
    On my own
    Can't help feeling, darling
    Since I found you
    That I found my home
    That I'm finally home
    I said I never let nobody
    Get to close to me, darling
    I said I needed
    Needed to be free

    But if you asked me to
    I just might change my mind
    And let you in my life forever
    If you asked me to
    I just might give my heart
    And stay here in your arms forever
    If you asked me to
    If you asked me to

    Ask me to and I will give my world
    To you baby
    I need you now
    Ask me to and I'll do anything
    For you baby
    For you baby
    I'll let you in my life forever
    All you gotta do is ask me to
    And I'll give you my world
    I'll give you my heart
    I'll give you anything
    Just ask me, baby
    Oh, I'll do anything you want me to
    Just ask me, yes
    All you gotta do is ask me to
    If you asked me to
    I'll change my mind Writer/s: Diane Warren

  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenThe title refers to a repeated exchange between Bond and Bond girl Pam Bouvier in "License to Kill."

    Bouvier: Why don't you wait until you're asked?
    Bond: Why don't you ask me?
