[Verse 1: JoJo]
Love is truely something
It's the one thing we can't live without
Makes you think you're invincible
Makes your heart feel so unbreakable
But you know love can hurt

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
So love me carefully
Just be true to me
Love me honestly
'Cause we know sometimes
Love can be done so painfully
So at the end of the day
All I want is you to love me
Carefully

[Verse 2: K-Ci]
My past brought a ending
Didn't think I'd ever love again
Then you came in my life
And you made everything seem right
So this time around I'm asking and begging you please

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
Love me carefully
Just be true to me
Love me honestly
'Cause we know sometimes
Love can be done so painfully
So at the end of the day
All I want is you to love me

[Bridge: K-Ci & JoJo]
Two hearts sharing something
So incredible, so unpredictable
I'll take care of you
So take care of me
I'll be there for you
You be there for me
Then we can love each other faithfully
Oh, so carefully

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
Love me carefully
Just be true to me
Love me honestly
'Cause we know sometimes
Love can be done so painfully
So at the end of the day
All I want is you to love me
Carefully

[Outro: K-Ci & JoJo]
Love me
Love me
But we know, oh
Sometimes love can be done so painfully
At the end of the day for the rest of my life
All I want is for you to love me carefully, ooh, oh
Love me carefully, baby

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
