[Verse 1]
If I ever had the chance
To be the king of this whole land
I wouldn't do it if you couldn't be beside me
On your love you have me strung
You are the breath of life in my lungs
And I thank you for the love that you've shown me
Before I go to sleep I pray
And thank the lord for another day with you
You're my dream come true

[Chorus]
I can love you the way
That you want me to
My love, the things I do
Are for you

[Verse 2]
Girl you're all I ever need
And you're mine exclusively
When we're all alone I wish the time
Remains the same
From the time the sun appears
'Till the moon's reflection is clear
I think about your love
And hope that it stays near
I'll take you all around this earth
To show you just how much you're worth
To me, you're my destiny

[Chorus]
I can love you the way
That you want me to
My love, the things I do
Are for you
I can love you the way
That you want me to
My love, the things I do
Are for you

[Bridge]
You're all the reason that I live
And all the love that I have I'll give
To you, you're my dream come true
And I promise

[Chorus]
I can love you the way
That you want me to
My love, the things I do
Are for you

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
