[Intro]
Baby baby, baby baby
Baby baby, baby baby
Baby baby, baby baby
Ooh, I'm so glad

[verse 1]
I will never find another lover
Sweeter than you
Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover
More precious than you
More precious than you
Girl you are close to me your like my mother
Close to me , you're like my father
Close to me, you're like my sister
Close to me, you're like my brother
You are the only one, my everything
And for you this song I sing

[Hook]
And all my life
I prayed for someone like you
And I thank god
That I
That I finally found you
Cause all my life, I prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you do love me too
And I hope that you feel the same way too

[Verse 2]
I said you're all that I'm thinkin' of, baby
Said I promise to never fall in love, with a stranger
You're all I'm thinking of
I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug
And I really love you

[Hook]
And all my life
I prayed for someone like you
And I thank god
That I
That I finally found you
Cause all my life, I prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you do love me too
And I hope that you feel the same way too

You're all that I ever known
When you smile, on my face, all I see is a glow
You turned my life around
You picked me up when I was down

You're all that I ever known when you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known when you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down

And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too

[Hook]
And all my life
I prayed for someone like you
And I thank god

That I
That I finally found you
Cause all my life, I prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you do love me too
And I hope that you feel the same way too

K-Ci & JoJo

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.
