Talkin bout makin love
(Face)
I will love you any way baby any way
And every way I can
Cause I'm that kind of man
I will give you everything baby
Give you more than any girl can stand

Check it
Word is bond
Born God

Word up son
What's the deal baby
(Face)
I will love you any way baby any way
And every way I can
Cause I'm that kind of man, yeah
I will give you everything baby
Give you more than any girl can stand
I'm gonna love you baby, baby, baby, baby
(LL)
I'm talkin about making love in the shower
At least an hour
And let you dangle in my arms
Cause love is power
Can you feel it sky's the limit
Once you reveal it
Yout heart was wounded
God sent me to heal it
On a mission ain't no stress love
Touch you with precision
Come on trust me gerl
Trow this rock up on your hand
I'll give you the world
Hey yo face
On the real
Was the honey looking laced

Ooh baby baby baby

Chorus

This is for the lover in you
This ring means I'll always be true
This is how we'll start love anew
This time it's gonna last forever
(Face)
I will love you all the way baby, girl that means
This love will never end
I'll be your lover and your friend
I will take you anywhere baby just say when
And girl I'll take you there
I'm gonna take you baby, baby, baby, baby
(LL)
We're going from Tahiti to France
To Italy in one night
Drop top Bentley Coupe parked in the spotlight
And you can drive it laced in all white
I'm wearing triple black
Our gear is top flight
Trips to Venice
The man of steel when I'm in this
A mach made in heaven
When we blend this
Lovers everlasting
In other words endless
Hey yo face
What's up on the real
Was the honey lookin laced

Chorus

Ladies and gentlemen Howard Hewett
(bridge Hewett)
See I never met a girl no, no
Who satisfied my mental and physical thing
When I lay down to sleep and I rest assured
With the thought that you are right
Right next to me

Chorus

You know what I'm saying baby
Word is bond
I'm fellin it
No doubt about it you know what I mean
Uh lookin hot girl
Yeah I'm feelin you boo
You know what I'm sayin I swear
Theres a lot of things I wat to do to you
But first ya gotta take tis ring
Drop it

So much love between us
I'll be the one to come running
Be the one to come running
I'll come running home to you now
Home to you baby
With a woman like you
I don't need to play around
Oh, your more then just one woman
You blowin my mind with the love
That you givin
I wanna hear you say it girl just say it
Girl everyday

Chorus

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.
