Girl, you know I, I, I love you
No matter what you do
And I hope you understand me
Every word I say is true
'Cause I love you (ooh, ooh, ooh love you)
Baby, I'm thinkin' of you
Tryin' to be more of a man for you
And I don't have much of a chance
But we're gonna see it through
'Cause I love you (because I love you)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Some men need lots of women
For their passions to fill
But I want only you, girl
If this isn't, if this isn't, if this isn't God's will
'Cause I, 'cause I love you
I, I love you, baby
With all my heart and soul
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I love you
I need you
I want you
I need you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, your love makes me grow stronger
It keeps me goin' on, oh baby
I'm glad I found you
I just love to be around you, oh baby
You've been so good to me, oh baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, hmm, hmm, hmm
You know, one time things got so bad
Until I had to go to one of my friends and talk to him
And I told him, I said, "You know, I'm having problems with the woman that I love
It seems that I call her on the phone and I, I just can't get her to answer
And then I went to her house and I saw her car parked in the driveway
I knocked on the door but still my knocks went unanswered
And then I went home and I, I watched television, until television went off
And then I played my records until I just didn't want to hear them anymore
And finally I went to bed but I found myself waking up a few hours later
And the tears were running down my face"
And my friend told me, he said, "Lenny, you just ought to forget about her"
But I told my friend, I said, "You know, maybe you've never been in love
Like I've been in love and maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt"
