[Spoken Intro]
Es tan bueno, saber que tu te sientes igual
Vamos a hacer esto esta noche especial
Papi, papi
I love you baby
Nada mas tú y yo
Te amo JoJo

[Verse 1: JoJo]
If I could tell you in words how I feel
And if you could stop, I could make you hear
I would tell you about…U & I
The story that could live and never die
Oh...

[Chorus: Jodeci + (JoJo)]
U & I could be one after all
Our love could be so strong
(I said it would be so strong)
U & I would never stop
U & I could reach the top

[Verse 2: JoJo]
Do you understand, it’s gotta be me and you
You know how I feel
I guess you feel the same too
I could go on and on to tell you how I feel
The story is too long
I guess I've said the real deal
Oh oh...

[Chorus: Jodeci + (JoJo)]
U & I could be one after all
Our love could be so strong
(Do you know what I’m talking about, baby?)
U & I would never stop
(We would never stop)
U & I could reach the top
(Check this out, baby)

[Bridge: JoJo + (Jodeci)]
You know I love you, baby
(Before you take it in)
This story never ends
Baby...

(Before you take it in)
U & I
U & I

[Chorus]
U & I could be one after all
(Before you take it in)
Our love could be so strong
(Before you take it in)
U & I would never stop
(Before you take it in)
U & I could reach the top

[Outro: JoJo + (Jodeci)]
You and me, me and you, you and me, ha
We could make love all night long, yes
(Before you take it in)
It would be so strong, baby
It would be so strong
Now let me tell you how I feel
I love you
I love you
Don’t you know that I love you and I need you, baby?

Jodeci

Started in 1983, Jodeci is comprised of two sets of brothers—Cedric and Joel Hailey (also known as K-Ci and JoJo) and Donald and Dalvin Degrate (also known as DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin). Jodeci were once known as the “bad boys of R&B,” notable particularly because they were actually boys at the time, breaking out as teenagers in 1991 with their debut album and its title ballad, “Forever My Lady.” Natives of North Carolina, they were discovered by Heavy D, who overheard their demo when an A&R at Uptown was in the process of passing on them. Heavy D introduced Jodeci to Uptown founder Andre Harrell, who signed them after they sang in his office, and handed them off to his then-protégé Puff Daddy, who outfitted the group in dark shades and coordinating leather ensembles. The look, along with the streetwise soul found in songs like “Cry 4 U” and “Feenin” (as well as a few run-ins with the law) made them the antithesis to good-guy personas of then-peaking R&B superstars Boyz II Men. Devante, who along with Mr. Dalvin held down production duties for the group, founded the Swing Mob, a collective responsible for the discovery of musical geniuses like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Static Major. As a group, Jodeci would go on to release three critically-acclaimed album in the ‘90s, before disappearing from the limelight. K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in 1997, producing hit single “All My Life” and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. In March, the group released The Past, The Present, The Future, the first Jodeci album in two decades. Jodeci, if y'all reading this, where’d you go?
