Love and tenderness, this touch of your caress. 
Don`t want no second best. Got to be the real thing. 
Be the little more. I got to know for sure. 
You`re the one that I adore. Got to be the real thing. 
It`s got to be the real thing. [bad word] on! It s got to be the real thing. 

There`s a thousand ways to say I love you girl 
And it s crystal clear that I do. 
I gave the thousand days of my love to you. 
I want to know for sure that you love me too.

I don`t mean to sound like I m pushing you around 
But I`m trying to explain what I feel inside. 
I don`t want to waste all the love I feel for you, 
I would be lost if I d lost you

But you got to show me more.
