Babyface

God must love you, I said to myself
'Cause you are more beautiful than anybody else
God must adore you, it's easy to tell
Must be wonderful to wake up to yourself

And the moment I saw you, had a vibe that's fit to kill
It was then that I knew love was real
On the day I met you, you were so, so true
On the day I fell in love with you, my heart stood still
And I never saw this happening to me
It's like something just came over me
I never thought that I could feel

Yes, God must love you, He's proud of himself
When he made you girl, he broke the mould for real
There's just something about you that you can't even help
It's the way you flow, you don't even know
That you got that whip of view

But the moment I first saw you, had your vibe all set to kill
It was then, that I knew love was real
On the day I met you, you were so, so true
On the day I fell in love with you, my heart stood still
And I never saw this happening to me
It's like something just came over me, yeah

On the day I met you, you were so, so true
On the day I fell in love with you, my heart stood still
And I never saw this happening to me
It's like something just came over me
I never thought that I could feel, baby, yeah

Never thought love at first sight could be real
And suddenly I see your face and I get you, baby
And everything I never thought that I could feel, is for real
Love is real, on the day

Oh, baby, on the day I met you, you were so, so true
On the day I fell in love with you, my heart stood still
And I never saw this happening to me
It's like something just came over me, yeah

On the day I met you, you were so, so true
On the day I fell in love with you, my heart stood still
And I never saw this happening to me
It's like something just came over me

I never thought that I could feel
No, no, I never thought that I could feel

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
