[Verse 1]
What must I say to you to get inside your head
Why must you always think I wanna get in your pants
Why I always gotta be the closest thing to wrong
Sometimes the only thing a brother needs, he need a woman to be strong
Well I ain't cryin', I ain't cryin' done 'bout run out of tears
You're the closest thing to heaven I need you to be near
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin', I can't make it more clear
The only thing that's gonna get me through, yeah, is if I go-ot you right here

[Chorus]
Ooo girl, talk to me, you're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is I want you for my woman
Ooo girl, speak to me, let me hear you sayin' that you're stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you I ain't nothin' at all

[Verse 2]
Why does everything I say to you have to be suspect
Feel like the only way I'll get with you summin' blows off my head
But I ain't tryin' to go out like that I wanna keep myself clean
Sometimes I only think a brother need, he need the strength from his queen
I ain't lyin', I ain't lyin' done 'bout run out of time
The only time I wanna do right now 's feel you by my side
Hear me darlin', hear me darlin', I can't be more sincere
The only thing that's gonna get me through, yeah, is if I go-ot you right here

[Chorus]
Ooo girl, talk to me, you're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is I want you for my woman
Ooo girl, speak to me, let me hear you sayin' that you're stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you I ain't nothin' at all

[Verse 3]
Well, I said everything's gonna be alright when you stand by my side
Gonna work things out tonight we're gonna make out just fine
For once I'd like for you to be the one who has the faith in me
And I promise I won't let you down this time

[Chorus X3 into fade]
Ooo girl, talk to me, you're the only one that comforts me
My only reality is I want you for my woman
Ooo girl, speak to me, let me hear you sayin' that you're stayin' with me
I know my reality is without you I ain't nothin'

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.
