[Intro]
Oh, no no no...

[Verse 1]
I know
That you're just a man
But you're all the man I need
And I know
That you care and you'll never leave
No, you'll never leave

[Chorus]
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay (I wanna stay)
I'll try to wait (I'll try to wait)
On you my dear
My love's sincere

[Verse 2]
You promised
That you never would cheat or lie
Lie to me, don't lie to me, babe
And you promised
That you'd trust and believe in me
Please believe in me

[Bridge]
Unnecessary pain (Pain is pain)
Now tell me who would get the pain? (You know it hurts)
If we should go astray
What would we do?
What could we say?

[Chorus]
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay (I wanna stay)
I'll try to wait (I'll try to wait)
On you my dear (On you my dear)
My love's sincere (oh, oh)
I love you so (Baby, you know, baby, you know)
I can't let go (Baby, you know, baby, you know)
You know it's real (I wanna stay)
The way I feel (I wanna stay forever and a day)
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere
I love you so
I can't let go
You know it's real
The way I feel
I want to stay
I'll try to wait
On you my dear
My love's sincere

[Outro]
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try? (Why, why, why, why, why?)
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try?
You said our love would always stand the test of time
Why can't we work it out
Why, baby? Can't we try

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
