Darlin', I love you, I love you 
 Let's make it clear 
 I don't know what your friends have been tellin' you 
 But my heart is sincere 
    Well darlin', I need you, I need you 
 It's only the truth 
 And I swear I'd go out of my mind 
 With the thought of my lovin' you   
 Well, I can't tell you how to feel 
 But the one thing that I'm sure about 
 Girl, you'll never find nothin' as real   
 He'll never love you 
 Not like I love you 
 He'll never treat you like the lady you are 
 Who you are 
 He'll never know you 
 Not like I know you 
 He'll never be real, he'll never be true 
 And you'll never feel like you do in my arms 
 Not the way I love you   
 Now darlin', I know things ain't perfect 
 I'm not about to lie 
 And I know I ain't been quite the angel 
 But I apologize   
 Now you think the grass might be greener 
 On the other side 
 Ain't no gold at the end of the rainbow 
 You're gonna find out in time   
 Now I can't help what you can't see 
 But the one thing that I'm sure about 
 Girl, I know you should be here with me   
 He'll never love you (no., no) 
 Not like I love you (not like I love you) 
 He'll never treat you like the lady you are 
 Who you are (oh) 
 He'll never know you 
 Not like I know you 
 He'll never be real, he'll never be true 
 And you'll never feel like you do in my arms 
 Not the way I love you   
 It's been too long, you need to come back home 
 Don't matter who's right or wrong, my dear 
 If I'm to blame, I promise I'll change my ways 
 And uh, if that's not enough, baby 
 I'll get down on my knees in the name of love   
 He'll never love you 
 Not like I love you (yeah) 
 He'll never treat you like the lady you are (you are) 
 Who you are 
 He'll never know you (he'll never know you, baby) 
 Not like I know you 
 He'll never be real (real), he'll never be true (true) 
 And you'll never feel like you do in my arms 
 Not the way I love you (not the way that I love you, darlin')   
 He'll never love you (no) 
 Not like I love you (not like I love you, baby, no) 
 He'll never treat you like the lady you are (you are) 
 Who you are 
 He'll never know you (he'll never know you, girl) 
 Not like (not like) I know you (I know, I know) 
 He'll never be real, he'll never be true 
 And you'll never feel like you do in my arms
