Hey baby, you're drivin' me crazy, 
with that special lovin' feelin' that you give to me... 
And I'm so proud, you want me to be your lady, 
now I know how it feels to live a fantasy... 

I used to dream about love, and sure it's how it was, 
but I don't have to dream no more! 
'Cause I, I got more than I can stand, I found me a lover in another man, 
I got you baby that's all I was waiting for... 

And I love the way you love me, I place no one above, I don't want true love... 
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what, 
I love the, I love the way you love... 
(oh-Oh! oh-Oh! oh-Oh! Oh-oh!, oh-Oh! oh-Oh!) 

Oh baby, ba, baby, I might as well face it, 
I've fallen in so deep, you have control of me... 
Without a doubt, it has to be the greatest, 
you are every bit the man I had hoped you'd be... 

I used to dream about love, and sure it's how it was, 
but I don't have to dream no more, oh no! 
'Cause when I think about your lovin' then I got a good beat, 
I get excited from the feeling that is given to me, 
so won't you keep me comin' baby 'cause I love the joy you bring, oh I love... 

And I love the way you love me, I place no one above, I don't want true love... 
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what, 
I love the, I love the way you love... 
(oh-Oh! oh-Oh! oh-Oh! Oh-oh! oh-Oh! oh-Oh!) 
I love the way you love... 
(oh-Oh! oh-Oh! oh-Oh! Oh-oh! oh-Oh! oh-Oh!)I love the way... 

One, for all the special love, 
two, a sensitive and tender touch, 
three, because you please, you bring out the best in me, 
'cause when I think about your lovin' then I got a good beat, 
I get excited from the feelin' that is given to me, 
so won't you keep me comin' baby 'cause I love the joy you bring, oh I love... 

(oh Oh! oh Oh! oh Oh! Oh oh! oh Oh! oh Oh!) 
I love the way you love... 
(oh Oh! oh Oh! oh Oh! Oh oh! oh Oh! oh Oh!) 
I love the way... 

And I love the way you love me, I place no one above, I don't want true love... 
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what, 
I love the, I love the way you love... 

One, for all the special love, 
two, a sensitive and tender touch, 
three, because you please, you bring out the best in me, 
'cause when I think about your lovin' then I got a good beat, 
I get excited from the feelin' that is given to me, 
so won't you keep me comin' baby 'cause I love the joy you bring, oh I love... 

The way you love me, I place no one above, I don't want true love... 
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what, 
I love the, I love the way you love...
