[Verse 1: Kameelah Williams]
I'm gonna keep it real
How you're makin', makin', makin', makin' me feel, ooh
I'm gonna break it down
You just drive me wild whenever you're around

[Chorus: 702]
Never, never, never knew love like this before
By the second you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo
Never knew love like this before
By the second you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

[Verse 2: Meelah]
Boy, it's something about you
That make me tell my friends
They don't understand, no, no
They don't know your style
With your high profile
The flyest thing in town

[Chorus: 702]
Never, never, never knew love like this before
By the second you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo (I like your steelo)
Never knew love like this before
By the second you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

[Bridge: 702]
Kiss me
Hold me
I say squeeze me, oh oh oh
Squeeze me, whoa-oh
Kiss me
Hold me
I say squeeze me, whoa oh oh
Squeeze me, whoa-oh

[Chorus: 702]
Never, never, never, never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo (I like your steelo)
Never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

Never, never, never, never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo
Never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

Never, never, never, never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo
Never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

Never knew love like this
Never knew love
Never, never knew love like this
Never knew love
Never, never, never, never knew love like this
Never knew love
Ne-ne-ne-never knew love like this
Ne-never knew love

Never, never, never, never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo
Never knew love like this before
I was psyched when you walked right through the door
You make me wanna fall right to the floor
I like your steelo

702

702 is an R&B vocal trio comprised of sisters Irish and LeMisha ‘Misha’ Grinstead and Kameelah Williams, the lead singer. “702” refers to the area code of their native Las Vegas, Nevada. They started as a quartet, which included Irish’s twin sister, Orish Grinstead—founding member and later a substitute vocalist.

The Grinstead sisters (along with Williams) attended the Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts, and sometimes performed in the lobby of Caesars Palace. It was there they were discovered by comedian Sinbad, who convinced their parents to enter them in a music competition under the name “Sweeta Than Suga.” They came in second place, and met Michael Bivins, the founding member of R&B group New Edition. They recorded a few demos, with Orish eventually leaving the group—she was replaced by Kameelah Williams. The new group was dubbed “702.”

702’s debut album, No Doubt, was released on October 8 1996, and was co-produced by Missy Elliott. The album was certified gold. Their second album, the self-titled 702, was released June 15, 1999 and produced their most well-known hit to “Where My Girls At?”, which Missy wrote and produced. The song became the official anthem for the WNBA season opener in 1999.
