Hey, ya know, Rob
The word, Mike, what's up? Man
I got something to tell you
Oh, tell me my brother
While you were gone, your woman
My woman what?
Your woman steppin' out on you
I gotta talk with this girl, right now

Girl, rumor has it that you're leaving
Girl, tell me that it isn't so
Woh
Never been one to show my feelings
Kept my emotions deep inside, oh
You don't know a good thing 'til you lose it
That's what it took to open up my eyes
Baby, I can't stand to see you go
I love you more, more than you'll ever know
Baby, I can't stand to see you go
I love you more, more than you'll ever know, ever know
Spoken: Ever know baby
Girl, I never was a fancy, fancy talker
And girl, I write my passion in a song
Oh
Hope my melody is appealing
Words that I say can change your mind
Our love is poetry in motion
I need to have you here to make the lyrics rhyme
Oh baby, I can't stand to see you go
I love you more, more than you'll ever know
Baby, I can't stand to see you go
I love you more, more than you'll ever know
I can't stand to see you go
I love you more, more than you'll ever know, ever know
I can't stand, I can't stand it
Ever know
Ever more
Ever know
Ever know
Check me out

Milli Vanilli was a German pop/R&B group that rose to fame in the late 1980s. After winning a Grammy for Best New Artist, it was revealed that the two “members” of the group, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were frauds. They had not performed any of the music themselves, and had lip-synced all of their performances. Numerous lawsuits were filed after this revelation and their Grammy was revoked, marking the first time a Grammy had ever been rescinded from an artist.

Their debut album, Girl You Know It’s True, went 6x Platinum before being completely deleted from the catalog of Arista Records, making it one of the largest-selling albums ever to be taken out of print.

After the controversy, Milli Vanilli split into two different groups. Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan became Rob & Fab, and released a self-titled album that commercially flopped, selling only around 2,000 copies. The actual studio performers formed The Real Milli Vanilli (also known as Try ‘N’ B to avoid any name recognition), and released an album called The Moment of Truth.
