I made mistakes when I played with your mind Gave you excuses with each story line If you ask me how I feel My love is for real Watching you wondering what I feel inside Deep in my soul I've got nothing to hide If you ask me how I feel My love is for real If you ask me how I feel My love is for real So baby please don't worry I wanna make it better I wanna be your only love This time I'll understand you I'll never leave your side This time it's got to be for you Let's put an end to these long lonely nights Things that were once wrong now turned out all right If you ask me how I feel My love is for real If you ask me how I feel My love is for real You told me, you loved me You said that I need you, you want me I told you So baby I won't tease you I'm gonna make it better I'm wanna be your only love This time I'll understand you I'll never leave your side This time it's got to be for you If you ask me how I feel My love is for real
