[Chorus]
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch (heaven to touch)
I wanna hold you so much (hold you so much)
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

[Verse]
Pardon the way that I stare (the way that I stare)
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak (words left to speak)
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I need you, baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you, baby, to warm a lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say, "It's okay"
Oh, pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, oh, baby—let me love you, oh, baby—

[Chorus]
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you (eyes off of you)
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much (hold you so much)
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I need you, baby, and if it's quite all right
I need you, baby, to warm a lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say, "It's okay"
Oh, pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, oh, baby—let me love you, oh, baby
I need you, baby, and if it's quite all right
I need you, baby, to warm a lonely night
I love you, baby, trust in me when I say, "It's okay"
Oh, pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, oh, baby—let me love you, oh, baby

As one of the founding members of Fugees, Lauryn Hill has spit her truthful lyrics unlike any female rap artist in history. Being as informative as she is inspiring, Lauryn has received monumental success with her solo albums going multi-platinum.

Her classic, critically acclaimed debut album Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went outside of the box for female rappers of her kind, making listeners think about greater causes in their community and how to be a powerful female without selling yourself short. The album also proved to be a huge landmark in rap, as it combined rap, r&b and neo-soul into a unique and beautiful mixture, full of different religious stories and concepts.

Although she retired after the success of her debut, mostly due to her child, Lauryn continued to make appearances at different shows (including at a concert with Drake in 2014). Shortly after announcing her official retirement, Lauryn returned to the scene to release MTV Unplugged 2.0, a live album where she explored with folk, departing from her rap/neo-soul style. Hill is also set to perform tracks from Miseducation in 2018 on its 20th Anniversary.
