Chemistry was crazy from the getgo
Neither one of us knew why
We didnt deal nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People start off as a phase
Said we cant see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
Its so true that (yes)
Weve been through it (yes)
We got real sh** (yes)
See baby we been…
Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby
I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
Ill be faithful (yes)
Im for real (yes)
And with us youll always know the deal
Weve been…
Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby
See this is real talk
Im always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if youre down on love or dont believe
This aint for you (no, this aint for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that its true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady shes the one (fellas tell your lady shes the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know hes got you locked
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
Weve been…
Too strong for too long (and I cant be without you baby)
And Ill be waiting up until you get home (cuz I cant sleep without you baby)
Anybody whos ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just cant be without your baby
Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
