Babyface

Wish that I could tell you
How I really feel
I wish you could believe my
Love for you is real
All I know is
I ain't much without you
You really are
The better part of me yeah

No matter I would go
Girl I want you to know
You're my moon, river, my dream
Maker of my soul
Mature like gold
Oh beautiful

Beautiful (Ooh baby)

Wish that I could change the
Way things might have been
I wish we could start over
And fall in love again
All I know is
I won't ever doubt you
I wanna live inside your heart
Again

Oooh no matter how it goes
Girl I want you to know
You're my moon, river, my dream
Maker of my soul
Mature like gold
You're my moon, river, my dream
Maker of my soul
Mature like gold
My beautiful

You're my moon, river, my dream
Maker of my soul
Mature like gold
You're my moon, river, my dream
Maker of my soul
Mature like gold
Oh beautiful

Wish that I could tell you, how I really feel

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
