[Intro]
Shoo doo, shoo doo
Shoo doo, shoo doo
[Verse 1]
Many say
That I'm too young
To let you know just
Where I'm comin' from
But you will see
That it's just a
Matter of time
My love will surely
Make you mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'm living in a
World of ghetto life
Everyone seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong
And it's all right with
My man, my man
[Chorus]
I like the way we carry on
His lovingness sends me
On and on
(my man)
People out there
Can't understand
I'm giving him
Something he can feel
To let him know that
This love is real
Oh
I'm giving him
Something he can feel
To let him know that
This love is real (This love is real)
[Verse 2]
So much love for us to seize
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams
So I write this song for you
To prove that real things
Do come true
Tell me, what does it mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'm living in a
World of ghetto life
Everyone seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong
And it's all right with
My man (my man)
[Chorus]
I like the way we carry on
His lovingness sends me
On and on
(my man)
People out there
Can't understand
I'm giving him
Something he can feel
To let him know
This love is real
I'm giving him
Something he can feel
To let him know
This love is real
[Outro]
I'm givin' him something
He can feel (he can feel)
Shoo doo, shoo doo
Shoo doo, shoo doo
[Verse 1]
Many say
