Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

[Verse 2]

You tell me that you love me every day

When we're alone, I really feel in love

But when we're out with friends I see a change

You treat me bad, I feel like second best

[Verse 3]

I want your love

Give me your love, girl

That's how I feel, I want it to be real

[Verse 4]

I want your love

Give me your love, girl

I need your touch and I

I owe you so much

[Verse 5]

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

(Oh, I really care, I really care, I really care, care, care)

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

[Verse 6]

Do you realize some things you say?

I know you do, it makes me so confused

I'm sure this ain't the way that love should be

Let's get it right, it's much too good to lose

[Verse 7]

I want your love

Give me your love, girl

That's how I feel, and I want it to be real

[Verse 8]

I want your love

Give me your love, girl

I need your touch and I owe you so much

[Verse 9]

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie

(Girl, I really care, I really care, I really care, care, care)

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie

(Girl, I really care, I really care, I really care, care, care)

[Verse 10]

Girl

[Verse 11]

Ooh

[Verse 12]

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie (Oh, yeah)

(Girl, I really care, I really care, I really care, care, care)

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie

(Girl, I really care, I really care, I really care, care, care)

[Verse 13]

Girl

Girl

Girl

I need your love, I want your love, give me your love

I need your love, I want your love, give me your love

[Verse 14]

Girl, I know I owe you so much

But can I pay you with just, with just one touch?

And, girl, I know you care, I'll never love another

To that, to that I swear

[Verse 15]

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U

[Verse 16]

I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes cry

A-E, A-E-I-O-U, U, I sometimes lie
