We've been friends for far too long
Couldn't cut this with a knife
But if loving you is so wrong
I don't want to be right
Give me your permission
Cuz you've got all of mine
Loving you is the sweetest thing I've ever known
Won't you torture me with your delight

I'll be your X-scape 
We can Just Kick It
Cuz what you need is some understanding
You already know that I wanna be more than just a friend
More than we've ever been
More than just a little innocent

How could you do this to me
I wouldn't do this to you
I'll do whatever makes you happy

Give me your Permission
Give me your Permission
Don't you fight the feeling
Give me your Permission

You never get my voicemail
When I'm at work or in class
They say love is gentle and frail
Baby my love is built to last

I'll be your X-scape 
We can Just Kick It
Cuz what you need is some understanding
You already know that I wanna be more than just a friend
More than we've ever been
More than just a little innocent

How could you do this to me
I wouldn't do this to you
I'll do whatever makes you happy

Give me your Permission
Give me your Permission
Cuz your love is all I'm missing
Give me your Permission

I'll be right by your side
Through all the ups and downs
The ins and outs
Won't you give our love a try
Give our love a shot
Please forget me not

How could you do this to me
I wouldn't do this to you
I'll do whatever makes you happy

Give me your Permission
Give me your Permission
There's no more hoping and wishing
Give me your Permission...
