[Spoken Intro]
I said I love you, baby
And I said I care
So when I tell you that I love you, darling
Don't you should understand that it means
I'm always gonna be there
I'm not gonna leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you, baby
Cross my heart, I'll be there

[Verse 1]
Baby, come to me
I will chase your tears away
Put your trust in me
Girl, I swear I'll never change
Darling, you will see
That my love is here to stay
And I promise you, I will be true
From here and now, forever, girl, I...

[Chorus]
I said I love you, ooh baby
And I said I care
When I tell you that I love you
It means I always will be there, yes, ooh
I'll never leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart, I'll be there

[Verse 2]
Open up your heart
Don't be afraid to love again
We can take it slow (take it slow)
You should know I understand
Baby, take your time (take your time)
And I don't care how long it takes
'Cause I promise you, I'm here for you
From here and now, forever, girl, I

[Chorus]
I said I love you (I told you I love you)
And I said I care
When I tell you that I love you
It means I always will be there
(I'll always be there)
I'll never leave you (I'll never leave you)
I ain't goin' nowhere
(I ain't goin' nowhere, baby)
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart, I'll be there

[Bridge]
And I will be there
(and I will be there for you)
Forever sincere to you
(girl, I always care for you)
I just wanna share my life with you
Right here, right now, forever, girl I

[Chorus]
I said I love you, ooh baby
And I said I care
When I tell you that I love you
It means I always will be there
I'll never leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart, I'll be there

'Cause I said I love you
And I said I care
When I tell you that I love you
It means I always will be there
I'll never leave you
I ain't goin' nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart, I'll be there

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.
