[Verse 1]
Silly me I tell myself, taking you for granted
I never loved nobody else
Silly me, silly silly me
Silly me, that's how I felt, not being romantic
How could I let you fall out love?
Well, all I know is when I go home
There is no one there for me
And all this love I feel inside
Can't put no arms around me
I wish that I could take things back
Turn back the hands of time
A time when I was yours
A time when you were mine, baby

[Chorus]
I'm still in love with you
I don't know what to do
To fill this empty space in my heart, baby
I still have thoughts of you
Of making love to you
And taking sweet long walks in the park, baby
So how do I convince you to come back to my arms
To my heart?

[Verse 2]
Silly me I tell myself, for not understanding
You needed love and nothing else
Silly me, silly silly me
Silly me for loving you and never complementing
Or telling you that you are my heart
Well, all I know is when I go home
There is nothing there for me
And all this love I feel inside
Can't put no arms around me
I wish that I could take it back
Turn back the hands of time
A time when I was yours
A time when you were mine, baby

[Chorus]
I'm still in love with you
I don't know what to do
To fill this empty space in my heart, baby
I still have thoughts of you
Of making love to you
And taking sweet long walks in the park, baby
So how do I convince you to come back to my arms
To my heart?

[Bridge]
Must've been silly of me to think that you would be
The kind of girl to take my shit
And not say one damn thing
Must've been too blind to see, or just not listening
To what your heart was trying to say
I only pushed your heart away
Wasn't that just silly of me, baby?

[Chorus]
I'm still in love with you
I don't know what to do
To fill this empty space in my heart, baby
I still have thoughts of you
Of making love to you
And taking sweet long walks in the park, baby
So how do I convince you to come back to my arms
To my heart?
(Come back to my heart, oh baby)

I'm still in love with you
I don't know what to do
To fill this empty space in my heart, baby
I still have thoughts of you
Of making love to you
And taking sweet long walks in the park...

Babyface

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.
