[Verse 1:]
Babe, every since we've been together it's been great.
And I can really see myself with you forever.
I said hey, I'm pretty much ok.
But I still must say if we gone stay solid then...
Hey, there's a few little things that I've been meaning to bring to your attention partner.
[Chorus:]
If you love me like you say you do...
(Hold me, show me, act like I'm really the one)
Aw, babe if you love me like you say you do...
(Kiss me, fix me up like I'm all that you got)
Yeah, you like to...
(Tell me)
(If you're nervous, that's alright)
(I'd rather see)
In your actions cause...
(They don't lie)
So if you love me like you say you do...
(Then you really hear me)
Ohhh...
(Feel me)
[Verse 2:]
Now for the past 3 weeks you've been dipping, slipping, running round.
Through the city.
Through the town.
Wait, what you doing?
If you wanna be with me...
(Act like you)
Be with me.
What I look like waiting round?
(Stop, let me tell you boy)
Hey, I'm digging your ambition.
Like that you're on a mission.
Then I wouldn't be trippin.
But hey, you know that love gets tested.
And I expect for you to treat me to bed.
[Chorus:]
If you love me like you say you do...
(Hold me, show me, act like I'm really the one)
Aw, babe if you love me like you say you do, boy...

(Feel me)
Feel me, yeah.
