[Verse 1]
I'm in love with you girl cause you're on my mind
You're the one I think about most every time
And when you crack a smile in everything you do
Don't you understand, girl, this love is true
You’re soft, silky hand long, sweet and thin
That candlelight complexion upon your skin
It lightens up my day, and that's oh so true
Together we're one separated we're two
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire
Cause you contain a quality that I admire
You're pretty plain and simple, you rule my world so try to understand
I'm in love girl
I'm in so love girl
I'm just in love girl, and this is true

[Hook]
Girl, you know it's true
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you
Yes, you know it's true
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh I love you
Girl, you know it's true
My love is for you

[Verse 2]
This is some sort of thing, girl, I can't explain
My emotions starts up when I hear your name
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear
Then delay my system when you are near
Come with your positive emotion, love, making enjoyin
That's for me to bust it's like a girl and a boy
These feelings I get I often wonder why
So I thought I might discuss this, girl, just you and I
Now what you're wearing I don't care, as I've said before
No reason that I like you, girl, just for what you are
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world so try to understand
I'm in love girl
I'm in so love girl
I'm just in love girl, and this is true

Milli Vanilli was a German pop/R&B group that rose to fame in the late 1980s. After winning a Grammy for Best New Artist, it was revealed that the two “members” of the group, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were frauds. They had not performed any of the music themselves, and had lip-synced all of their performances. Numerous lawsuits were filed after this revelation and their Grammy was revoked, marking the first time a Grammy had ever been rescinded from an artist.

Their debut album, Girl You Know It’s True, went 6x Platinum before being completely deleted from the catalog of Arista Records, making it one of the largest-selling albums ever to be taken out of print.

After the controversy, Milli Vanilli split into two different groups. Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan became Rob & Fab, and released a self-titled album that commercially flopped, selling only around 2,000 copies. The actual studio performers formed The Real Milli Vanilli (also known as Try ‘N’ B to avoid any name recognition), and released an album called The Moment of Truth.
