Medley - God Blessed Our Love / When A Man Loves A Woman / That's How Strong My Love Is

I like to take a little time out to tell you

That no love will last, except God being the plan

Ya see, I remember reading, where it has been said about them olden days

That you had to have a marriage license

But God said, "What I joined together

Let no man put us asunder"

So every night before we go to bed

I take my baby, and we get down on our knees

And raise our heads towards Heaven

And then we thank God for sending us to each other

We also thank Him for binding us close together

You see, we could've fallen by the wayside

But one can't fall without the other

We also thank him for being so good, and so kind to us

All night long as we sleep, and then

Bright early in the morning

Every morning when I rise, I can just see Heaven, all in your eyes

And one thing I like about, it makes me know

That this is not just an everyday love

No, no, no, no

You see, we got something

We got something, I'm sure we can always be proud of

We got so much, so much love (whoo)

We got so much, so much trust

Can't you see a halo, a halo hovering over us?

That why I like to say this every now and then

God, bless our love

Oh, I like that about, oh God, oh God

Said he'll bless our love

Another thing, I can just stand up

Stand up and tell the world

Oh, that you're mine, all mines, whoo

Baby, you're Heavenly designed

Oh, God, must have sent you to me, he knows God

I like kissing you, baby

I like hugging you

I like squeezing you

Holding you, wanting you

I'm glad I'm still in love with you

When people, you know what I'm talking about, you know

People always criticize, you know how they do

Oh, that don't bother me, no, no, I know God

I know we got God on our side

I like to take time to tell you

God, let's have Your love, I know You're able

Oh God, oh God, saying bless, I would love

Another thing I don't understand

I can't understand why a man will work all the weeklong

And bring his paycheck on Friday evening and put it in his woman lap

And still, she will go out, and find another man

See, I don't understand why, he would let her stay out all night long

And still, he loves her

I don't understand why

He let his best friend smile in his face

And then try to sock it to his baby behind his back

I don't understand that, but I guess

It wasn't meant for me to understand

When a man loves a woman, uh

He can't keep his mind on nothing else

He change the whole world for the good thing he found

If she bad, I mean real bad

He can't see it, she can never, never do him no wrong

He'll turn his back on his best friend

Oh, if he put her down

When a man loves a woman

He'll spend his very last dime

Trying to hold on, oh, he want to hold on to what he think he need

But he don't need it

He'll give up all his comfort, leave his happy home (when a man loves a woman)

Go sleep out in the rain

If that's the way, if she tell him, "Honey

Oh, that's the way want you to be"

For this man, sure loves you woman

Give you everything I have

Trying to hold on, hold on to your high-class love

Baby, baby, please, please don't treat me bad

Whoo, when a man loves a woman

Bad situation to be in, down deep in his soul

She can bring him, oh, he can feel such misery

If she plays him for a fool, everybody in the community know about it

He'll be the last one to know

You see, loving eyes, loving eyes can never see

One thing I want to say before I leave here this evening

(When a man loves a woman) see, I feel like it good to have a love that won't let you down

I feel like good to have a love will stick by you closer than a brother

You see, I had a love once

And I feel so good about (when a man loves a woman)

I had to go tell all my friends

I went and told my mother, I told my father, I told my sister and I told my brother

Say, "You just don't know what this woman mean to me"

If I was the sun up there

I will glow with love everywhere

Even be the moon after the sun goes down

So you can see, so you can see that I'm still around

Ooh, that's how strong (that's how strong), oh yeah, she is

Oh, that's how strong (that's how strong) my love is (my love is)

That's how strong my love is

If I was a fish, now this is a bad situation to be in

That has been cast upon the land, I will stay there, yeah

Just image this, if you will let me hold your hand

Even be the wind from a roaring storm

I'll stop for a moment, ooh, baby, baby, I'll walk you home

Ooh, that's how strong (that's how strong), oh yeah, she is

Oh, that's how strong (that's how strong), ooh-ooh, my love is (my love is)

That's how strong my love is (my love is)

Just before I go, if I was weeping willow (ooh)

And was drowned in my own tears (ooh), oh, you can go swimming (ooh)

As long as you will live, I'll even be the rainbow, you no rainbow (ooh)

After all my tears are gone, you know what I'll do (ooh)

Wrap you in my color, and I woulda (ooh), oh, I would even keep you warm

Oh, that's how strong (that's how strong)

Oh, that's how strong (that's how strong)

Ooh-ooh, that's how strong my love is (my love is)

That's how strong my love is

If I were a star (that's how strong)

And was so far way (my love is)

You see, baby, I will guide you in love (that's how strong)

I wouldn't let you go astray (my love is)

If I were an ocean (that's how strong), great big ocean

And was so deep and wide (my love is)

I will reach out and catch your tears, baby (that's how strong)

Every, every, every, every, see, I wouldn't let you cry (my love is)

I love you, baby (that's how strong)

I love you, baby (my love is)

I would go-
