[Verse 1]
I remember so many nights in the bed alone
Wondering could I muster the strength to exist in the bitter cold
But you showed up once in a while, I guess that's alright
Cause I told my heart that you needed time for yourself, it's fine

[Chorus]
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And round I go
To know that you still love me

[Hook]
I need to know, say that you do
(To know if you still love me)
I need to know, say that you do
(Please)

[Verse 2]
Wear it sometimes when I tried to discern our reality
Wish that I just could be somebody else if you talked to me
Kept praying inside, let him love me for who I am
Please, my Lord
But you were just somewhere that I couldn’t reach, couldn’t understand

[Chorus]
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And round I go
To know if you still love me

[Hook]
I need to know, say that you do
(To know if you still love me)
I need to know, say that you do

[Bridge]
Didn’t we swear we'd give each other everything
(I shouldn't hold in on love)
Didn’t I give you all of me
Oh oh oh
No, not a day goes by
No, no, no
When I don't wonder inside
If you feel the way you used to feel
I camouflage my tears
And you wear your disguise
And round and round I go
(To know if you still love me)

[Outro]
I need to know, say that you do
(I remember so many nights)
I need to know, say that you do
(I camouflaged...)
(That's all I really wanted)
I need to know, say that you do
(Oh say it)
That's all I really wanted...
(Tell me that you love me)
I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh
I need to know...
(I pray that you still love me)
Tell me that you still love me
(Camouflage)
I cry and cry as you laugh and laugh at the question
But I need to know
(Camouflage)
I need to know, say that you do
Wear it sometimes when I try to discern our reality...

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
