Like I Love You
Performed by: Jay'e R.
Written by: Greg Pridgen, Jr. (BMI)
Your eyes tell me the story
Of the person that you are
I see in them you’re an angel
Who is guarded by your scars
I stand outside of this high wall
That you’ve built around yourself
Telling you how much I love you
And I don’t want nobody else
(You say that you’re not ready)
You know I understand
(You say I’ll find another)
I’m your one and only man
(You say your heart’s been broken)
Mend it up that is my plan
I’m not going anywhere
Right here is where I stand
(Loving you is never easy)
Who said that it would be?
(You feel you’re no one special)
But you’re the one for me
(You say that I am crazy)
And I’m crazy over you
Because one thing that I know
Is baby I love you
Your heart’s my home
Want you for my own
Because there’s no me, baby without you
Can’t you see?
You’re the one for me
Want you to love me, like I love you
In the moments since I’ve met you
Find I love you more and more
But you’ve locked your heart away, baby
And I’m knocking at its door
Hoping you will let me inside
Just to give you all my love
Because you’re the one I live for
You are the one that I adore
(Your heart is locked away now)
Baby, just give me the key
(You ask me why I want you.)
I love you, can’t you see?
(You say that love’s not for you)
Baby love’s for everyone
Won’t you just give me the chance?
I swear that I won’t run
(It’s a crazy situation)
How crazy can it get?
(You say I barely know you)
What I know, I won’t forget
(You’re afraid to let love happen)
Baby, let’s give a try
I know that you love me too
I can see it in your eyes
Your heart’s my home
Want you for my own
Because there’s no me, baby without you
Can’t you see?
You’re the one for me
Want you to love me, like I love you
(Music break)
(You say that you’re not ready)
You know I understand
(You say I’ll find another)
I’m your one and only man
(You say your heart’s been broken)
Mend it up that is my plan
I’m not going anywhere
Right here is where I stand
(Loving you is never easy)
Who said that it would be?
(You feel you’re no one special)
But you’re the one for me
(You say that I am crazy)
And I’m crazy over you
Because one thing that I know
Is baby I love you
Your heart’s my home
Want you for my own
Because there’s no me, baby without you
Can’t you see?
You’re the one for me
Want you to love me, like I love you
