[Chorus: K-Ci]
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do (No, no, no, no)
I don’t wanna do anything else
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do
I don’t wanna do anything else
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do (Yeah, yeah)
I don’t wanna do anything else (I don’t wanna do anything else baby baby)
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do
I don’t wanna do anything else (Listen, baby)

[Verse 1: K-Ci]
Every night and day I dream of another way
To tell you something good, I don’t think that I’m understood
You walk away and I frown with my head hung far down
You tell me what is wrong
You just wanna be loved all night long, baby

[Chorus: K-Ci]
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do
(I don’t wanna do anything else)
I don’t wanna do anything else (Yeah)
(Won't you tell me, baby?)
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do (Oh)
I don’t wanna do anything else (I don't wanna do)
Mary, Mary

[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]
You told me a thousand times that you would be mine, all mine
I do everything for you, but in your smile, I still can’t find
Now you tell me this, this is something that I can miss
And all you wanna do is to love me for me and I'll love you for you

[Chorus: K-Ci & Mary J. Blige]
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do
I don’t wanna do anything else
(I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do anything else)
(No, no, no, no, no)
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do (I don't wanna do nothing else)
I don’t wanna do anything else

[Verse 3: K-Ci & Mary J. Blige, Both]
Now that I know I’m gonna make love to you
So let it open up your heart
And let me in where I belong
If lovin' you was all that I have to do
Then it won’t be wrong, baby
'Cause we belong together baby

[Bridge: K-Ci, Mary J. Blige, Both]
Together, we will be as one
Just me and you, you, you, you
Will you love me? (I will love you)
Will you please me? (I will please you)
Girl, don’t leave me (I won’t leave you)
Let's make it easy (I’ll make it easy)

[Chorus in Background: K-Ci]
If lovin’ you is all that I have to do
I don’t wanna do anything else

[Outro: KCI & Mary J. Blige]
They could take my possessions
They could never take your love away from me
Ohh, see now listen with every breath I breathe and every beat of my heart
I know that no one, I know that no one can tear us apart
'Cause I love you, baby
I love you too
And I need you
I need you too
Stay with me, more than just a day
And you know, you know, you know
I love you
You make me feel so good, baby

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.
