[Verse 1]
Many say that I'm too young (To let you know just where I'm comin' from)
To let you know just where I'm comin' from
Oh, but you will see
That it's just a matter of time (My love will surely make you mine)
My love will surely make you mine
[PreChorus]
Oh-oh, living in a world of ghetto life
Everyone around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong it's all right
With my man, my man
I like the kinds of ways we have our fun
His loving ways send me on and on
Yeah, hey, with my man
People out there can understand
[Chorus]
I'm giving him something he can feel
Oh, oh-oh, to let him know my love is real, yeah
I'm giving him something he can feel
Yes I am, baby
To let you know my love is real
[Verse 2]
So much love for us to see
So much hope for material things (Are they only in my dreams?)
Are they only in my dreams?
So I write this song for ya
To prove that real things do come true (Tell me what it means)
Tell me, tell me what it means
I wanna know, baby
[PreChorus]
Living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong, it's all right with
My man
I like the kinds of ways we have our fun
His loving ways send me on and on
Ooh, with my man
People out there, can you understand?
[Chorus]
(Giving him something he can feel) I sure want you to have it, baby
To let you know my love, my love is real, real, real
(Giving him something he can feel) Ooh-ooh baby, ooh baby
(To let you know this love is real) I want you to know my love
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
(Giving him something he can feel) Can feel, can feel it, I can feel it
(To let you know this love is real) Oh, baby
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
[Bridge]
(Giving him something he can feel) I'm gonna give you what you, what you really need, baby
(Giving him something he can feel) Can you feel it? can you feel it? feel it, feel it, feel it
(Giving him something he can feel) Oh-oh, feel it
Ooh-ooh you feel it, baby
(Giving him something he can feel) Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
(Giving him something he can feel) Feel it, baby, feel it, baby, feel it, baby
[Chorus]
(Giving him something he can feel) Yeah, feel it baby, feel it, feel it
(To let you know this love is real) Do you really know my love is real? Yeah, real
(Giving him something he can feel) Everyday, baby
(To let you know this love is real) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
You know, babe
I just can't get enough of your funky stuff
No, no, oh, oh, babe
You make it so good
You turn a woman around
Yes, you will
And I wanna run it and tell it all over town
[PreChorus]
Living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong, it's all right
With my man
I like the kinds of ways we have our fun
Ooh, his loving ways send me on and on
Yeah, with my man
People out there, can you understand?
[Chorus]
(Giving him something he can feel) Ooh, yeah
(To let you know this love is real) Yeah, ooh, eh
(Giving him something he can feel) Ooh, ooh
(To let you know this love is real) Ooh, do you know? do you know?
Do you know? Do you know? My love is
[Outro]
Giving him something he can feel
Giving him something he can feel
Giving him something he can feel
Giving him something he can feel
Giving him something he can feel
