Please, let me make a true confession I had never been in love before But since you came in my direction I've had a change, a change of heart My girl said come a dime a dozen I fed them things they love to hear I never was wanting for a lover But I never knew that true love was indeed [Chorus] Who do you love? Girl I'm in love with you Are you for sure? Sure as the sky is blue Who do you love? Just let me prove to you Are you for sure? Yes, girl my love is true I used to be the great pretender For the very first time I'm for real You've got me listening to my heart now You gotta believe how real I am ready to be become the giver Now that I realized that it is give and take Oh, love has broken my defenses This time I'm not just only me I gotta tell you babe... [Chorus] How do I know that you won't go, please tell me I don't want to lose your love And if it's true, I'll stay with you That would make me so happy How do I know that you won't go, please tell me I don't want to lose your love And if it's true, I'll stay with you That would make me so happy [Chorus: x5]
