Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
You came inside and captured me

And I'm so happy
You're the rhythm of my rhyme
You and I, together
Well stand the test of time

You know how to love me (sure you do)
You know to make it right (so nice)
You know how to love me (there's no denyin')
Sweet as morning light

Sooner or later
I knew you'd come my way
You're welcome to my love
