Mmm
I really gotta know 
If you trust me, do you trust me now, hey 
I really gotta know 

You know that I love you 
And that ain't gon' change 
And though you're not here with me now 
My love for you stays the same 

Don't worry about those other girls 
They can't take my place 
You know they only want my, my world 
And they can't be replaced 

(Girl, you know) 
You know that I love you (Ooh, girl) 
Girl, you're everything to me (Ooh, girl) 
Just let me show you (Ooh, baby) 
Just how much you mean to me 

It's been such a long time 
Since I've been with you 
My friends say I should play around 
They just can't figure out what I found in you 

You know I'm not that other guy 
Who broke your heart, mmm 
You're still the only one in my, my world 
Even when we're apart 

(Girl, you know) 
You know that I love you (Baby) 
Girl, you're everything to me (Just let me show you) 
Just let me show you (Ooh...baby) 
Just how much you mean to me (Girl, you know) 

You know that I love you (You know that I love you, pretty baby) 
Girl, you're everything to me (Just let me show you) 
Just let me show you (Show you, baby, ooh...ooh...yeah) 
Just how much you mean to me 

(Oh, girl) I only have eyes for you 
(Oh, baby) Believe me what I say is true 
(You know it's true now) You know my heart belongs to you 
(And only you and you can't be replaced) 

(Girl, you know) 
You know that I love you (You know that I love you, baby) 
Girl, you're everything to me (You know that I love you, baby) 
Just let me show you (Just let me show you now) 
Just how much you mean to me (What you mean to me now) 

You know that I love you (Said you know that I love you, baby) 
Girl, you're everything to me (You're everything to me) 
Just let me show you (Baby now, baby now, yeah) 
Just how much you mean to me (Oh...girl, yeah) 

You know that I love you 
Girl, you're everything to me (Oh, girl) 
Just let me show you (Ooh, yeah) 
Just how much you mean to me (Oh, girl) 

You know that I love you (Said you know) 
Girl, you're everything to me (To me) 
Just let me show you 
Just how much you mean to me
