I taste sweet melodies
Every time I kiss you
I yearn and toss and turn
Every time I find myself missin' youAnd rain-falls don't sound as wet
Don't feel as wet when I ain't inside of you
Your skin is soft as silhouette
At the stroke of my finger tips'Cause I hope you're not the prototype
But the makings of the real deal
See, it's been some time since this came around
So I recognize just what I feel, my old friend's backIt's that old four letter word that I feel when I touch you, yeah
(Lemme tell you what it is)
It's that old four letter word that I taste when I kiss you, yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar, yeah
It's that old four letter word, love, love, love, love, love, love
(I got to spell it out, L O V E, love)I feel sexy and confident
When I illuminate in your eyesight
I feel speechless and spellbound
So, what's the use of even tryin' to put up the fightI let down all my guards
You persuaded me when you did the same
Im throwin' in all my cards
I found a higher ground, a higher planeSee, it's been some time
I know where you been, I been waitin' on ya
But welcome back
I hope youre here to stay, here todayI always hear about, sing about
Even write about ya, talk about ya
(There was a time I was sure I had)
Just know I had till ya slipped away
But not this time, no, noIt's that old four letter word that I feel when I touch you, yeah
(That feels so good inside)
It's that old four letter word that I taste when I kiss you, yeah
It's that old four letter word that I recognize, so familiar, yeah
It's that old four letter word, love, love, love, love, love, love
(L O V E, got to spell it out)This time
This time
This time
