[Rap: MC Lyte]
Yeah, I'm ecstatic for love
Fanatic of love
And if I'm not around
It's you I'm thinkin' of
I gotta make it real for you
Whenever I deal wit you
I do do do do anything

[Verse 1]
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
So I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see, yeah
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of

[Chorus]
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world, only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up

[Verse 2]
My friends wonder what is wrong with me, yeah
'Cause I'm in a daze from your love, you see
So I came back to let you know
Oh, I got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Although I only want the best, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you

[Chorus]
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you don't give up
In my world, only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

[Rap: MC Lyte]
Yeah, come on now, listen
Through the ghetto in the projects of Queens
I gotta get to you 'cause you do them things to me
My love shows
Nobody knows how my adrenaline flows and to the heights it goes
And ayo, see, 'cause when you're filling me up
You're enough, when you're ready for that nut
Babe, I'll be that buttercup
And I catch every drop
You got a chick on lock for you
I'll go through the storm and skip to the road blocks
We can rumble in cuss
We can fight and we can fuss
But know that I'm never giving up
It's nothing I won't do
Nothing I won't go through
You're worth the joy and the pain
I'ma keep it true

[Chorus]
What you won't do
Do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world, only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up
Do for love
You tried everything
Won't give up

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.
