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, the way that you love
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what
I love the, I love the way you love, yeah, yeah

Oh baby, baby, baby, I might as well face it
I've fallen in too deep, you've got 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' and how good it can be
I get excited 'bout 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, the way that you love
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what
I love the, I love the way you love, yeah, yeah
I love the way you love, yeah
I gotta love [Incomprehensible] 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'
And how good it can be
I get excited 'bout the feelin' that is given to me
So won't you keep me comin' baby
'Cause I love the joy you bring, I love

I love the way you love, yeah, yeah
I love the way

And I love the way you love me
I place no one above, the way that you 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' and how good it can be
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

I love the way you love me
I place no one above, the way that you love
And I love the way you love me, and baby no matter what
I love the, I love the way you love

Love your love, love your love
I love the way you love
Love your love, love your love
I love the way
And I love the way you love me
