[Verse 1]
Mansions, hills, and acres
Women, drinks, and caterers
I will toast until the break of dawn
Swimming pools and strippers
Conversation, six figures
Never crossed my mind to call home

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a note on the bathroom mirror
Telling me that you've had enough
It took you leaving me for my blind eyes to see
That you mean

[Chorus]
(Far more) Than this planet to me
(Far more) Than the air I breathe
(Far more) From here to overseas
(Far more) Girl, you're all I need
(Far more) Than the mountains and tree
(Far more) You mean more than the birds and bees
(Far more) Honey, take it from me
(Far more) You are all I need

[Verse 2]
Hanging out with friends
Never calling to check in
Neglecting you in every way
Taking the home front for granted
What was straight is now slanted
And I don't know what to do about this letter

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a note on the bathroom mirror
Telling me that you've had enough
It took you leaving me for my blind eyes to see
That you mean

[Chorus]
(Far more) More than this planet to me
(Far more) More than the air I breathe
(Far more) From here to overseas
(Far more) Girl, you're all I need
(Far more) Than the mountains and tree
(Far more) Than the birds and bees
(Far more) Honey, take it from me
(Far more) You're all I need

[Bridge]
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee bee bop, hip hop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee bee bop, hip hop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee bee bop, hip hop
Far more, far more (Nothing can compare to you)
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee bee bop, hip hop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee bee bop, hip hop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Skiddle-ee, bee bop, hip hop
Far more to me

[Chorus]
(Far more) Than this planet to me
(Far more) Than the air I breathe
(Far more) From here to overseas
(Far more) Girl, you're all I need
(Far more) Than the mountains and tree
(Far more) The birds and bees
(Far more) Honey, take it from me
(Far more) You are all I need, yeah

[Outro]
(Far more) Woo
(Far more) Ever since you've been gone
(Far more) I realize, girl
(Far more) Just what it is I had at home
(Far more) Oh baby, you mean far more
(Far more) Than this planet to me
(Far more) Than this air I breathe
(Far more) Nothing can compare to your love for me

[Chorus]
(Far more) To your love for me
(Far more) To your love for me
(Far more) To your love for me
(Far more)

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
