[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here
Thinkin' 'bout
How I'm gon-na do without
You around
In my life
And how am I, I gon' get by
Ain't got no days
Just lonely nights
If you want the truth
Well, girl, I'm not alright
Feel out of place
And out of time
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

[Chorus]
So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real? (So lonely)
Do you still think of me? (I think of you)
Baby still? (You only)
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one
Oh let me tell you how it feels (It's like every day I die)
Wish I was dreamin' but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (And don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in

[Verse 2]
I miss your face
I miss your kiss
I even miss, the arguments
That we would have
From time to time
I miss you standing by my side (by my side)
I'm dying here
It's clear to see
There ain't no you, God knows there ain't no me
Don't wanna live
I wanna die
If I can't have you in my life

[Chorus]
So tell me how you feel (Oh)
Are you for real? (For real)
Do you still think of me? (I think of you)
Baby still? (You only)
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one
Oh let me tell you how it feels (It's like every day I die)
Wish I was dreamin' but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh, let me tell you how it feels (And don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in (Will never, I will never love again)

[Outro]
So tell me how you feel (Tell me how you feel, baby)
Are you for real?
Do you still think of me?
Baby still?
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one (So lonely, so lonely, so...)
Oh, let me tell you how it feels (It's like every day I die)
Wish I was dreamin' but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh, let me tell you how it feels (And I don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in (I'll never ever ever love again, baby)

So tell me how you feel
Are you for real? (Are you for real?)
Do you still think of me? (Do you think of me?)
Baby still? (Baby, do you think of me?)
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one (So lonely, so lonely, so lonely)
Oh, let me tell you how it feels (It's like every day I die)
Wish I was dreamin' but it's real (When I open up my, open up my eyes, baby)
Oh, let me tell you how it feels (And I don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in
(I think that I will never ever ever love again, baby)

So tell me how you feel
Are you for real?
Do you still think of me?
Baby still?
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one...

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.
