[Verse 1: Johnny Gill]
I never did believe in true love from the start
It's not for me, baby
Well, I never was intrigued by real love from the heart
It's just not me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Johnny Gill & Pebbles]
Until you came around (Until I came around)
And changed my life (And I changed your life)
You never let me down (I never let you down)
You are always by my side (Always by your side)
And now love is a joy (Now love is a joy)
A perfect melody (A perfect melody)
And I just want to tell the world what you've done for me

[Chorus: Johnny Gill with Pebbles & Karyn White]
Feels so much better
Better than the one love I know
Feels so much better
Know, oh-oh, much better, baby
Feels so much better
Better than the one love I know
Feels so much better
So much better

[Verse 2: Johnny Gill]
Baby, I can't believe that I've been such a fool
I could not see, baby
I never could conceive true love could even be
So good for me

[Pre-Chorus 2: Johnny Gill & Karyn White]
Until you came around (Until I came around)
And touched my heart (And I touched your heart)
You never let me down (I never let you down)
You gave me a brand new start (A brand new start)
And now love is a joy (Now love is a joy)
A perfect melody (A perfect melody)
And I just want to tell the world what you've done for me

[Chorus: Johnny Gill with Pebbles & Karyn White]
Feels so much better
Better than the one love I know (So much better)
Feels so much better
Know, oh-oh, so much, girl
Feels so much better
Better than the one love I know
Feels so much better
So much better

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus 3: Johnny Gill & Pebbles]
Until you came around (Until I came around)
And touched my heart (And I touched your heart)
You never let me down (I never let you down)
You gave me a brand new start (Gave you a brand new start)
Now love is a joy (Now love is a joy)
A perfect melody (A perfect melody)
And I just want to tell the world what you've done for me

[Chorus: Johnny Gill with Pebbles & Karyn White]
Feels so much better (Yeah, yeah)
Better than the one love I know
Feels so much better
Know, oh-oh, so much, girl
Feels so much better
Better than the one love I know
Feels so much better
So much better

[Outro: Johnny Gill with Pebbles & Karyn White]
Baby, I feel like I'm in heaven
Baby, with you nothing else matters
Never knew a love, never knew a girl
Never thought that I could feel so
Baby, I feel like I am dreaming
You make my life worth living
You never let me down, turned my world around
God only knows how much you touched my heart
Feels so much better
My heart, so much, girl
Feels so much better
Said it feels so good, so good, girl
Feels so much better
Said it feels

Johnny Gill

Johnny Gill is a singer-songwriter that entered the music business when he was 16-years-old. He released his self-titled debut in 1983, a duet album with Stacy Lattisaw titled Perfect Combination in 1984, and his second solo album Chemistry in 1985. It was his next move that turned him into a star as Johnny joined the popular R&B group New Edition in 1987 following the departure of Bobby Brown. He was featured on their 1988 album Heart Break and closed the album as the lead vocalist on the classic song “Boys To Men.”

After Heart Break, New Edition decided to focus on solo projects, leading Johnny to release his third album, a second self-titled album, in 1990. He enlisted the top two R&B super-producer duos at the time to produce the album—L.A. Reid & Babyface and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, who he worked with on N.E.’s Heart Break album. These collaborations led to the three #1 R&B singles (“Rub You the Right Way,” “Wrap My Body Tight,” and “My, My, My”), while “Fairweather Friend” peaked at #2. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 and hit #1 on the R&B Albums chart, while also getting a couple of Grammy nominations for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male and Best R&B Song for “My, My, My.”

He released two more solo albums—Provocative in 1993 and Let’s Get the Mood Right in 1996—before re-joining New Edition in 1996 for the album Home Again and joining another supergroup with Keith Sweat and Gerald Levert, forming LSG in 1997. They released the album Levert Sweat Gill featuring the #1 R&B hit “My Body.” He would go on to make another album with LSG (LSG2 in 2003) and New Edition (One Love in 2004), appear on TV and in stage plays as well as release several solo albums such as 2014’s Game Changer, which features the New Edition reunion track “This One’s For Me and You.”
