[Verse 1: En Vogue]
I hold you close right to my heart
Plus from the past that sets you apart
From all the rest, you are the best
Come here, come on, give me a kiss
Remember all the fun times we shared
Anticipating good times ahead
Spending time with you, it's true
There's nothing that I'd rather do

[Chorus: En Vogue]
There's a million different ways to say I love you
(A million different ways to say I love you)
There's a million different ways to say I care for you
(I care for you)
There's a million ways to say I need you too
(I need you)
There's a million different ways
(A million different ways)
A million different ways to say...

[Verse 2: En Vogue]
I like the way you satisfy me
I like the way you ‘lectrify me
You can't ignore, I can't explain
I know we'll learn from every change
You make me laugh, you make me see me
Falling in love with you, it's a dream
I close me eyes, you're standing there
With a smile that says you care

[Chorus: En Vogue]
There's a million different ways to say I love you
(A million different ways to say I love you)
There's a million different ways to say I care for you
(I care for you)
There's a million ways to say I need you too
(I need you)
There's a million different ways
(Hey hey)
A million different ways to say...

[Verse 3: En Vogue]
Happy just to be here with you
I don't know what I would do
Without your love, without a clue
You bring out the best, it's true
I can see you understand me
My best friend, my cup of tea
Don't ever change the way you are
We fit just like a hand in glove

[Chorus: En Vogue]
There's a million different ways to say I love you
(A million different ways to say I love you)
There's a million different ways to say I care for you
(I care for you)
There's a million ways to say I need you too
(Oh, I need you)
There's a million different ways
(Hey hey)
A million different ways to say...

[Outro]
Oh, I love you
Hoo, said I love you, baby
You know I do, yeah
Said I need you, baby
You know I do

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.
