[Intro]
Oh baby
If I could explain the joy I feel

[Verse 1]
Ooh, if I could explain the joy I feel, and a
Ooh, this love making, baby, it's so real, and a
Ooh, like winter time by the fireplace, and a
Ooh, like trapped in walls and there's no escape, and a
Ooh, like a precious jewel with no price tag, and a
Ooh, like waterfalls coming down on me, and a
Ooh, like a tidal wave coming from the sea, and a
Ooh, like a favorite scene in a big movie

[Chorus]
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby (ooh)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby
(If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby
(Ooh, just like)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that

[Verse 2]
Ooh, like you and me making history, baby
Ooh, like a 99th anniversary, and a
Ooh, like a baby when it speaks its first words, and a
Ooh, like an uplifting song the first time heard, and a
Ooh, like a shelter when the storm gets rough, and a
Ooh, like a mountaintop from the bottom up, and a
Ooh, like an expensive suite at the best hotel, and a
Ooh, like a work of art when its unveiled

[Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Oh oh oh oh oh, if you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that, yeah)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that (ooooh)

[Verse 3]
Ooh, like a great blue skies on a summer day, and a
Ooh, like sitting close in a small cafe, and a
Ooh, like making love to someone you love, and a
Ooh, like breaking up then making up, and a
Ooh, like a warm embrace when you come around, and a
Ooh, like the sweetest words when you're feeling down, and a
Ooh, like lost inside of a masquerade, and a
Ooh, like a celebration in a big parade, and a
Ooh, like a secret told to the one you trust, and a
Ooh, like kissing you in an all white tux

[Chorus]
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that, if you wanna, wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that
(Like the moon, yeah when it glows at night)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(And like the sun, oh yeah, when it shines real bright)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(And just like the ocean when the whale jumps high, so high)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Like the eagle when it soars the sky, you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby

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”).
