Deniece Williams

When he smiled at me
His curiosity open the door to romance
He's a lot to see, but his personality
Opened the door to slow dance

I don't usually dance with a man
That I barely know
He had a way of making me stay
When I had to go

He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and see
Is he really the one for me to love
He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and pray
Gonna have a little talk with the one above
The author of love

Every time we meet
He sweeps me off my feet
I can't begin to tell you
Everything seems right
It happened overnight
I can't believe that it's true

I don't usually fall for a man
That I barely know
If it's true love I'm willing to give
It's time to grow

Though he's so appealing
There is one thing I realize
Been deceived by my feelings
But true love, true love tells no lies

He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and see
If he's really the one for me to love
He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and pray
Gonna have a little talk with the one above
The author of love

He loves me, he loves me not
(Ooh-hoo...)
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me, he loves me not
(Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know)
He loves me, he loves me not

Oh, though he's so appealing
There is one thing I realize
Been deceived by my feelings
But true love, true love tells no lies

He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and see
Is he really the one for me to love
I tell you, he loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and pray
Gonna have a little talk to the one above

I said, he loves me, he loves me not
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and pray
Gonna have a little talk to the one above

He loves me, he loves me not
Yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh, oh, yeah
He loves me, he loves me not
Gonna take a little time and pray
Gonna have a little talk with the one above
He loves me, he loves me not
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, yeah...
