Darlin’, I love you, I love you
  Let’s make it clear
  I don’t know what your friends have been tellin’ you
  But my heart is sincere
  Well darlin’, I need you, I need you
  It’s only the truth
  And I swear I’d go out of my mind
  With the thought of my lovin’ you
  
  Well, I can’t tell you how to feel
  But the one thing that I’m sure about
  Girl, you’ll never find nothin’ as real
  
  He’ll never love you
  Not like I love you
  He’ll never treat you like the lady you are
  Who you are
  He’ll never know you
  Not like I know you
  He’ll never be real, he’ll never be true
  And you’ll never feel like you do in my arms
  Not the way I love you
  
  Now darlin’, I know things ain’t perfect
  I’m not ‘bout to lie
  And I know I ain’t been quite the angel
  But I apologize
  Now you think the grass might be greener
  On the other side
  Ain’t no gold at the end of the rainbow
  You’re gonna find out in time
  
  Now I can’t help what you can’t see
  But the one thing that I’m sure about
  Girl, I know you should be here with me
  
  He’ll never love you (No., no)
  Not like I love you (Not like I love you)
  He’ll never treat you like the lady you are
  Who you are (Oh)
  He’ll never know you
  Not like I know you
  He’ll never be real, he’ll never be true
  And you’ll never feel like you do in my arms
  Not the way I love you
  
  It’s been too long, you need to come back home
  Don’t matter who’s right or wrong, my dear
  If I’m to blame, I promise I’ll change my ways
  And uh, if that’s not enough, baby
  I’ll get down on my knees in the name of love
  
  He’ll never love you Not like I love you (Yeah) He’ll never treat you like the lady you are (You are)
  Who you are
  He’ll never know you (He’ll never know you, baby)
  Not like I know you He’ll never be real (Real), he’ll never be true (True)
  And you’ll never feel like you do in my arms
  Not the way I love you (Not the way that I love you, darlin’)
  He’ll never love you (No)
  Not like I love you (Not like I love you, baby, no)
  He’ll never treat you like the lady you are (You are)
  Who you are He’ll never know you (He’ll never know you, girl) Not like (Not like)
  I know you *I know, I know)
  He’ll never be real, he’ll never be true
  And you’ll never feel like you do in my arm
