[Intro]
(Until the break of dawn) Until the break of dawn
(Until the break of dawn)
The break, mmm, the break, until the break of dawn
The break, mmm, the break

[Verse 1]
Are you satisfied
With the way I love you?
Are you satisfied?
'Cause I just can't deny
That the way you love me
Makes me melt inside, ooh baby

[Pre-Chorus]
I'ma gonna give it all up, my baby
As long as you want it
My kiss is gonna cover your body
Up and down and all around

[Chorus]
Until the break of dawn
(Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby)
Until the break of dawn (yeah)

[Verse 2]
What's your fantasy?
Maybe we could play it out
Just you and me
In my wildest drams
I couldn't have imagined
Such intensity

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'm never gonna give you up, my baby
As long as you want me
My kiss is gonna cover your body
Up and down and all around

[Chorus]
Until the break of dawn
Until the break of dawn
The break of dawn

[Refrain]
Until the break, the break of dawn
Until the break of dawn (until the break of dawn)
Until the break, the break of dawn
Until the break of dawn, the break of dawn
Until the break, the break of dawn
Until the break of dawn
Until the break, the break of dawn
Until the break of dawn

[Bridge]
I wish that I could extend
The little time that we spend
And so I hope that you intend
To stay with me at least until the break of dawn
Ooh baby, why don't you stay right here with me, baby
Ooh baby

At least until the break of dawn
That's all I really need
At least until the break of dawn
I need you here with me
At least until the break of dawn
That's all I really need
At least until the break of dawn
I need you here with me
At least until the break of dawn
That's all I really need
At least until the break of dawn
I need you here with me
At least until the break of dawn
That's all I really need
At least until the break of dawn
I need you here with me

[Outro]
Won't you stay until the break of dawn
You need to stay until the break of dawn
Won't you stay until the break of dawn
You need to stay until the break of dawn
Won't you stay until the break of dawn

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
