Forever Your Girl Lyrics

The Way That You Love Me
It ain't the clothes that you wear
It ain't the things that you buy
It ain't your house on the hill
It ain't the plane that you fly

It ain't your black limousine
It ain't your ninety-foot yacht
It ain't the things that you'll get
It ain't the things that you got

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey I ain't impressed with your material things

It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
It's the way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't your friends at the top
It ain't their fortune and fame
It ain't your heavy connections
It ain't the Hollywood game

Ain't famous people or the parties they throw
Honey I ain't impressed with all the people you know

It's just the way that you love me
(In the heat of the night)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(When you're loving me right)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(And the things that you do)
It's just the way that you love me
(Baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(Make me crazy for you)
It's just the way that you love me

It ain't the money or the diamond rings
Honey I ain't impressed with those material things

It ain't the trips to Brazil
It ain't the weekends in Rome
It ain't the French Riviera
You know I'd rather stay home

Ain't the Bahamas
It ain't Monaco
Honey I ain't impressed
With all the places we go

It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
The way that you love me
It's just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
(It ain't the money)
It's just the way that you love me
(Or the diamond rings)
The way that you love me
(Ain't what you buy me baby)
It's just the way that you love me
(Ain't material things)
The way that you love me
(Ain't your Maserati)
It's just the way that you love me
(Your house on the hill)
The way that you love me
(It ain't the parties)
It's just the way that you love me
(Or the trips to Brazil)

Knocked Out
I was in love the moment that
I saw you
I followed you thru the crowd and I almost lost you
I was dying to tell you but scared of your reaction
But I can't hold back because I'm rushed
with this thing called passion

You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
You swept me off my feet

I walked your way hoping that
Maybe you noticed
I don't want to move so fast
I don't want to blow it
Never did I think love could be so amazing
But the things that you're making me do
It's driving me crazy

Repeat chorus twice

I want us to be closer, boy I wanna be
Startin' somethin with you baby
My heart is steady knockin boy you've got my body rockin,
caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O.

Repeat chorus twice and fade

Opposites Attract
Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like T.V.
I take thing serious
And you take 'em light
I go to bed early
And I party all night
Our friends are sayin'
We ain't gonna last
Cuz I move slowly
And baby I'm fast
I like it quiet
And I love to shout
But when we get together
It just all works out

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed
And he steals the covers
She likes it neat
And he makes a mess
I take it easy
Baby I get obsessed
She's got the money
And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes
And I like to smoke
Things in common
There just ain't a one
But when we get together
We have nothin' but fun

I take--2 steps forward
I take--2 steps back
We come together
Cuz opposites attract
And you know--it ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together
Cuz opposites attract

Repeat Chorus

Baby ain't it somethin'
How we lasted this long
You and me
Provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever
Get our differences patched
Don't really matter
Cuz we're perfectly matched

Repeat chorus twice

State Of Attraction
Such a mess, such a funny feeling
I must confess, I never felt like this before
Runnin' hot, runnin' my emotions
Your lovin' shock, goes through me like an open door
Ooh my heart's in animation
And beating in double time

State of attraction
Somehow you make my body come alive
My arms wanna hold ya
My lips wanna kiss
Ya make me want to want you

This is strange, this is all a new thing
What a change, I know that real life ain't like this
Goin' mad, I'm goin' past the love zone
I've got it bad, I've got it so I can't resist
I'm in a deep suspension
A limbo void of time...I'm in a

State of attraction
You're just a magnet to this heart of mine
These eyes wanna know ya
These hands wanna touch
Cause I'm affected by you...I'm in a

State of attraction
Somehow you make my body come alive
My arms wanna hold ya
My lips wanna kiss
Ya make me want to want you

Pick and roll me off the wall

This is love science, a chemical reaction
Ooh baby, to resist ain't worth tryin'
Cause once ya start the action...you're in a

Chorus fade

I Need You
All alone, it's you and me
Time to tell you now just how I feel
Babe to you I bare my heart
A light of love, here in the dark

(Don-cha know) I might be strong
But deep down there's a sweetness
Only you can touch and make me feel
(Oh h h) what a joy
You're such a perfect lover yes
You always know just what to do

I-I I need you...

At the start, I couldn't say
All my feelings I could not portray
But I gotta tell ya now,
That I really need your love, babe
Oh, it's comin' on strong

(I feel) so secure
When you are here beside me
There is nothin' that can bring me down
(Oh and) more and more
You take me way up high, babe
And you teach me what love is all about

I-I I need you.

Forever Your Girl
Hey baby
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever...and ever and ever
(You know I am)

Baby pick your head up
Come on and look me in the face
Cuz I can tell that somethin'
Is bringin' you down
(Why are you down?)

Is it the rumor
That another boy
Wants to take your place
(I hear he's after your heart)
Have you been hearin' the stories
They're goin' around
(All of my friends are talkin')

Baby just remember I gave you my heart
Ain't no one gonna tear us apart
He could promise the moon
And the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember I'm forever your gurl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Honey listen to me
Your love is all I need
You should know that I don't need nothin'
That money can buy
(It's no lie)
So if a boy were to come along
And try to make me leave you
(Girl I'd go out of my mind)
There'd be no need to worry
I'm tellin' you why
(I need to hear that you really love me)

Baby don't you know that I love you
And I'd never put nobody above you
He could promise the moon and the stars above
Even if he promised me the world

Just remember I'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

I'm forever your baby
Just remember I'm forever your girl
He could promise the world
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

When the mountains crumble into the sea
That's the day someone'll come
Between you and me

Baby just remember I gave you my heart
(Tell me) ain't no one gonna tear us apart
Baby he could promise me diamonds
Even if he promised me pearls
Honey you know I ain't lyin'
Listen as I tell it to the world

You gotta remember baby remember
You gotta remember
I'm forever your girl

Baby forever and ever and ever
We'll be together
I'm forever your girl
Baby forever and ever and ever
You gotta remember
I'm forever...
Hey baby he could promise the world

Girl you know I love you
And I always will
If we live 'til forever
I'll be lovin' you
I'll be lovin' you still

I'm forever your girl

Straight Up
Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus cont.

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

Chorus out

Next To You
When we met
The sparkle in your eyes
Showed me that
We were meant to be
In love
Sharing our fantasies
You touched me
Then we kissed
I could not believe
That love was so strong
It didn't take too long
To learn
Love will go on and on
Love's an everlasting bond

When I'm next to you
Our love flows through
I can't explain
What you do
When I'm next to you
I feel brand new
I love you for
All the things you do

Can't deny
The feelings deep inside
Our hearts and minds
Love is alive
It's true
I'm so into you
I love you

Solo

When I'm next to you
Our love flows through
I can't explain
What you do
When I'm next to you
I feel brand new
I love you for
All the things you do

You know when I'm all alone
And you're so far away
I wish that you were here
Holding me
And I find myself thinking
Of how it would be
Knowing you're with me

I love the way I feel
When I look into your eyes

I love the way I feel
When I'm standing by your side


When I'm next to you
Our love flows through
I can't explain
What you do
When I'm next to you
I feel brand new
I love you for
All the things you do

(Fade)

Cold-Hearted
He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

You're the one givin' up the love
Anytime he needs it
But you turn your back and then he's off
and runnin' with the crowd
You're the one to sacrifice
Anything to please him
Do you really think he thinks about you
when he's out

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

It was only late last night
He was out there sneakin'
Then he called you up to check that you
were waiting by the phone
All the world's a candy store
He's been trick or treatin'
When it comes to true love girl with him
there's no one home

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

You could find somebody better girl
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as ice

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--(repeat to fade)

One Or The Other
If you think you're gonna have the time
To make up your mind
You shouldn't even try
I'm tired of hearing all of your lines
Just tell me that you're mine

You know I'm better than she'll ever be
It's very clear to me
No more
I'll let you mess with me
But baby can't you see

You can only have (one or the other)
Is it gonna be her or
Is it gonna be me
You can only have (one or the other)
If it's gonna be her
You gotta set me free

Let me tell you that it hurts so bad
When you're the last to know
My friends told me so
My heart was always just for you
But now you want her too

You see her you try her
You're always on fire
But boy I've got news for you
You've taken advantage
But baby you can't have
Your cake and eat it too

One or the other
You can't get it right
You say I'm your lover
But someone else is waiting
One or the other
I'm not gonna fight
This won't last forever
So stop your hesitating

One or the other
You can't get it right
You're so undercover you always think I'm playing
One or the other
You want me tonight
I'm not gonna play
It boy
I'm not with it

One or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it too
