I bought you things that I didn't even have the money for
If I could make you feel so rich I don't mind feeling poor
There's something about you so addictive had me needing more
Yeah I just wanna hold you baby you the one I want
I know I've said this all before but I'll say it again
You the only one I want and girl I can't pretend
I remember cloudy days we cuddled in my bed
The thought of losing you just makes no sense inside my head
You the reason I believe that love is real
Ain't nobody make me feel the way you make me feel
Darling tell me is it real?
Or was I lying to myself, just to make it feel so real?
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gone
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' wanna no no no
I can't love nobody anymore
You the only one that I ever want
I compare her to you, she has never won
Now I wanna just be all alone
Nobody love me like you
And I can't love nobody back
You remind me of the moon
'Cause every night you coming back
What am I supposed to do?
If I'm so in love with you
I cannot get over you
I cannot get over you
Since you left me every night I go stare at the moon
Wishing it was you and I, that's something we would do
Every Sunday morning I go watch the flowers bloom
I do things we used to do, hoping I'll run into you
What's a lie and what's the truth?
I cannot get over you
Doesn't matter what I do
Everyone just looks like you
Girl I smell you everywhere
Smell your perfume and your hair
I try to act like I don't care
Everyone knows that I care
You the reason I believe that love is real
Ain't nobody make me feel the way you make me feel
Darling tell me is it real?
Or was I lying to myself just to make it feel so real?
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gone no
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' trust, like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't no body gon'
Trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' love, like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' wanna no no no
Ain't nobody gon'
Ain't nobody gon'
