Everything feels so right
Since you became my girl
I feel the special bond of love
Between you and I

The kinda love that will last forever
In the day, oh, I pray

That we will stay this way for always
?Cause we were meant to be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

You have made me realize
You're the best girl in the world
And I treasure every moment with you

I never thought that our love
Would ever be this way, I'm here to stay

I don't wanna live without you
'Cause we were meant to be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

Baby girl, the love I have for you
Is oh so deep
Every time you touch me
I feel myself getting weak

Inseparable, you and me
Incredible, love so deep
Insatiable, can't you see
You're all that I need

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

As one, as one, as one, as one forever
Our love will always be forever
We will be as one

Hi-Five

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
