Lyrics
Do you remember
(Remember, remember, remember)
The first time you fell in love?
The way it felt, the way it feels
Bein' able to say
From the bottom of your heart
(Heart, heart, heart)
I love you for real
(I love you for real, for real)
Your eyes meet
You feel your heartbeat
Palms are sweaty, you can't keep still
And when you finally touch 'em
And hug 'em and kiss 'em
Ooh, what a thrill
(Ooh, what a thrill)
You was always searchin'
And finally your dream came true
They came strollin' along
And you promised 'em
Straight up and down, sweetheart
I swear, I'll never do you wrong
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Nothin' in the world could seperate the two
And even though you've only known
That person for a short time
You tell 'em, "I love you
You're my heart"
(Heart, heart, heart)
You argue wit' ya parents
And they argue back
(Back, back, back)
You're too young to be so serious
You tell 'em that's not true
I'll go on without you
And walk away aggravated, and furious
You want 'em to approve
But then again, it don't matter
(Matter, matter)
The relationship's yours
You feel you're maturin', and hey
You can fight your own battles and wars
You discuss it with your love
And it's the same for them
So, the two of you decide
We're gonna weather the storm
Life is sweet
Kissin', caressin' and huggin'
And keepin' each other warm
But now comes the serious part
'Cause love, believe me
It ain't an easy task
We'd have one argument too many
And you'd have to ask
Am I still your heart?
(Heart, heart, heart)
Am I still your heart
(Heart, heart, heart)
Or is somethin' pullin us apart?
'Cause baby, if it is
Please let me know what
You run out the door
I tell you come back, I love you
(I love you)
You shout out, so what?
How could you hurt me?
How could you treat me like you never loved me?
Were you playing a game?
And if so, I only have one request
Sit down and explain to me
The person who treated you right, did you right
And held you tight, every night
Is it another lover in your life
That has you uptight? 'Cause if it is
Aw baby, please, don't do this to me
I'm tryna reach you, tryna talk to you
It's killin' me
'Cause you're my heart
(Heart, heart, heart)
That's right, I admit it
You're my heart
I refuse to let you go
(Heart, heart, heart)
I struggle and fight for you against all odds
Get down on my knees, and pray to God
(God, God, God)
That our love is in the cards
'Cause I know you're right for me
And I know I'm right for you
There's no way in the world
I'll let you slip out of my hands
People say forget about it, move on
But see they don't understand
You're nothin' to them, but you're so much to me
So much, in fact that I'd give my life
To stare into your eyes and caress your face
As the priest announces us man and wife
We'd live happily, ever after
(Man and wife)
(After, after, after)
White picket fence and the whole nine yards
And anything that anybody say
I'd disregard
(Disregard, disregard)
If I was still your heart
(Heart, heart, heart)
So, make up your mind
'Cause I've made up my mind
I'm beggin' you, baby
Please come back home
I'll be tossin' and turnin'
As I lay in my bed
Sorrow surrounds me
I can feel it in my bones
(Bones, bones, bones)
This can't be true, I'm losin' you
Oh Lord have mercy, please make it alright
(Alright, alright, alright)
All I wanna do in this whole wide world
Is hold you tight
I've ripped open my heart
Shed tears and cried
Now it's up to you baby, please understand
I forgive you for everything
And give you anything
Just let me take ya by the hand
And lead ya, baby, I guide ya
Protect you like a mother protects a child
Now, it's up to you
I'ma call you in a little while
You're my heart
(Heart, heart, heart)
