What You Are Lyrics


It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night
I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind
I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye
And whoa, I'm putting this on tapeBaby, you're wonderful, I really mean it, babe
More than you will ever know
Wish that I could stay but I gotta go
I'll be back but in the meantime keep in mindThat you are something too big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse
'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forgetGirl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had
You are the perfect love, never give you up
Because you are my heart my soul my breath
Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you areNow no man has ever loved his woman more than I love you
Girl, you know it's true
And no man can ever say he does a woman better than I do you
That ain't true, here's what I doSend you fresh-cut roses every day of the week
Take you shopping whenever, more importantly
Wrap my loving arms around you

To reassure everything I felt that first night I feel it moreYou are something too big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse
'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forgetGirl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had
You are the perfect love, never give you up
Because you are my heart my soul my breath
Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you areGirl, you are something too big for words
And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse
'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids
Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forgetGirl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had
You are the perfect love, never give you up
Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath
Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you areGirl, you are, you are, you are
Girl, you are, you are

Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. He got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times a Lady, and probably the Commodores' most famous hit, Brick House.

Richie quit the band in 1981 for a solo career. He released his self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold over 4 million copies. His follow up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in '84. His third album, '86's Dancing On The Ceiling spawned such hits as Say You, Say Me, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Se La, but would be the end of his commercial success.

His 90's albums such as Back to Front, Louder Than Words, and Time all failed to achieve the previous decade's commercial success. Some of his recent work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, hoping to achieve more success.
