[Chorus: En Vogue]
I do love you
You can have a piece of my love
It's waiting for you
Boy, it's true
(Oh, you know it's true, baby, you can have a piece)
You can have a piece of my love
(Of my love)
It's waiting for you
(It's just waiting)
Boy, it's true
I do love you

[Verse 1: Rhona Bennett]
Baby, you can't have all of me
'Cause I'm not totally free
I can't tell you everything that's goin' on, baby
There's a few things in my past
That should not be explained
I'm askin' you, baby
Won't you be with me for a lil while

[Pre-Chorus: Rhona Bennett]
Please hush, no questions asked
(You don't have to say but one word)
Won't you lay back and relax, boy (I do love you)
Kick off your shoes, and take your clothes off for me, baby
Since we're here now, darlin'
I'm givin' you a piece of me, you can have it

[Chorus: En Vogue]
You can have a piece of my love (All my love)
It's waiting for you (It's just waiting)
Boy, it's true
(Boy, you know, you know, I'll let you have a piece)
You can have a piece of my love (Of my lovin', yeah)
It's waiting for you (It's just waiting)
Boy, it's true (Oh, it's true, it's true, it's true)
I do love you

[Verse 2: Rhona Bennett]
I know that this is wrong
But the feeling's so strong
I wish this could last forever
But it wouldn't be the same
Tell me who would be to blame
If we were to hurt all over again?

[Pre-Chorus: Rhona Bennett]
Please hush, no questions asked
(You don't have to say but one word)
Lay back and relax, baby (I do love you)
Take off your shoes
Lay your sexy little hair down
And let's make love, over and over and over and over again, yeah

[Chorus: En Vogue]
You can have a piece of my love (My love)
It's waiting for you (Ooh)
Boy, it's true (You can have a piece of my love, yeah)
You can have a piece of my love (My love)
It's waiting for you (And you will get it, yeah)
Boy, it's true (You can have a piece of my love, baby)
I do love you
You can have a piece of my love (Just ask me for it)
It's waiting for you (And you will get it, you will get it)
Boy, it's true
(Oh, you can have a piece, if you want it, baby)
You can have a piece of my love (Ooh ooh, yeah)
It's waiting for you (Right here, right now)
Boy, it's true (Baby)
You can have a piece of my love

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
