There's a special kind of person
Sometimes she's not all she seems
You only see what she wants you to see
And before you really know it always seems to go

[Repeat x8]
Back and forth (Our love goes)

Take your chances if you will (those looks can kill)
It'll make you go round & around
You got to know it by now
That the truth is you just can't win 
Loves funny like that
It'll make you blow your cap
Sacrifice everything and money
Love has no guarantee's
And always will it be

[Repeat x16]
Back and forth

Take stabs dip and dab
Forever tryin' to find your way
It's a sellers lament 
For all the love you spent
You must have thought it was a bottomless pit
You can't do it like that
Love will show you where it's at
What you put up you'll surely get back
Cause there's no other way
If you play you'll pay

[Repeat x8]
Back and forth 

Love has no guarantee's
And always will it be

[Repeat x16]
Back and forth

Cameo

Cameo is an American soul-influenced funk group that formed in the early 1970s. Cameo was initially a 13-member group known as the New York City Players; this name was later changed to Cameo to avoid a lawsuit from Ohio Players,[citation needed] another group from that era. Since then, Cameo has recorded several hit records. As of 2009, some of the original members continue to perform together, while two others were hired by the hip hop group Outkast. Their influences include Rick James, Parliament-Funkadelic, contemporary funk bands like the Bar-Kays, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, The Isley Brothers etc. and singers like Marvin Gaye, Billy Paul, Prince, Isaac Hayes, Stevie Wonder and Bootsy Collins. more »
