[Intro]
Hey, baby
Come here for a minute
I've got something to say
It's coming from my heart, baby
From a real woman
Listen up
Say!

[Verse 1]
I'm not afraid
To admit that I'm weak and I can't get enough of you
Baby, damn
What you doing baby?
Are you trying to make it harder for the next man?
Making me feel like a woman should
And it's all good
But ohh, Lord
Why you ever introduce me to such a feeling?
Cause I'm caught up
And I got no shame
Put my pride aside, forget the game
Some women they fakin’
But I'm all about me
So glad you came along and made me believe
Cause' it’s not about love, or making it feel real deep
Sugar I thank you for making it real for me
This feeling!

[Chorus]
(I can't contain it
It's more than love [?]
This feeling)
Stronger than love
Stronger than lust
Stronger than pain
Stronger than anything
This feeling baby!
(I can’t explain
So much it can’t be fathomed
This pleasure and pain
This feeling)
Surpasses anything

[Verse 2]
And what you do to me?
Came in, broke up the monotony
That same ol’ regular bullshit
From them childish playa wannabes
Cause it’s something when a man knows how to be unselfish
He can make a woman feel free
(So what, [?])
[?]
[?] to be
Damn my nigga, you [?] with me

[Pre-Chorus]
See some women they fakin’
I’m all about me
So glad you came along and made me believe
It’s not just about lovin’, [?]
Sugar I gotta thank you for giving me

[Chorus]
This feeling
(I can’t contain
It’s more than [?]
[?]
This feeling)
Baby, it’s better than [?]
Stronger than pain, stronger than [?]
This feeling
(I can’t explain
So much it can’t be fathomed by this pleasure and pain
This feeling)
For this feelin’
Ain’t nobody ever [?] to me
(Ain’t never have a [?] to me
[?] make me feel
The way you came and made me feel)
The way you came and made me feel!
(You came and put it down for me
Ladies [?]
Damn I can’t believe it’s real
Ain’t never have a [?] to me
[?] make me feel
The way you came and made me feel)
Made me feel baby
(You came and put it down for me
Ladies [?]
Damn I can’t believe it’s real)
(It’s real)

[Verse 3]
Ladies! Listen up
Have you ever felt someone deep down in your soul?
You noticed? I didn’t say love
Love is easy, I said “feel”
So much, you can’t let it go!
And it becomes dangerous
Violation, cause you [?]
He do, a disservice to your spirit
But it feels good
So you don’t wanna hear it
See a lot of y’all don’t know what I’m talkin’ about
Tell the truth
You ain’t felt this feelin’ before cause most of these niggas don’t know
How to do it
But you gotta let ‘em know
[?] silly, knucklehead though
I mean, a man with a plan who can give you some
And let you know, he got
Hhm, come on
Power! (Power!), Strength! (Strength!)
Vision! (Vision!), Respect! (Respect!)
Love! (Love!), And game! (And game!)
Capability, to make you feel things
At the side of him
Make your, love come down [?]
And [?]
And that’s real
