Ah...you sure
You sure have got me, girl

At last I’m passed the fantasy
Friend of my reality, oh, yes, you are
More than just a love token
Hey, girl, we’ve got it workin’, workin’, workin’

Never had a love like this before (No, no, never)
Oh, I never had a love like this before (Never had a love like this before)
Never, never, never had a love like this before (Hey, baby)
Oh, I never had a love (Never had a love)

I’m so glad that I was patient
Lord sent me a heavenly creation, oh, yes, He did
You’re all I needed, needed, yeah
A body so I can see

Never had a love like this before {I never had a love like this, girl, before}
Oh, I never had a love like this before {She treats me so good}
Never, never, never had a love like this before {Hey, baby, do you understand what I mean}
Oh, I never had a love {Never}

Looks and your tender touch
Is every day askin’ for too much
Girl, I’m in love with what you’re doin’
I never get tired of watchin’ you

Never had a love like this before [Never, never had a love]
Oh, I never had a love like this before [Hey, girl, you’re what I need]
Never, never, never had a love like this before [Ooh, I never, never, never, never]
Oh, I never had a love [Never had a love]

I’ve been in a lot of situations
{But never like this before} Oh, no
There’s been so much, so much anticipation
New loves that for sure {And everybody needs it}
Everybody’s lookin’ for a good situation
Uptown, downtown, all around the world {Lookin’ for the right girl}
Hopin’, prayin’ that, oh, some never find it
The right boy or the right girl {Lookin’ for the right boy, lookin’ for the right girl}
Do you hear what the fellas are sayin’

Never, never, ever, ever, never had a love like this before
(Never, never, never, no, no)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, never, never, ever, ever, ever had a love like this before
Do you hear what the fellas are sayin’ (Yeah...)

Never had a love like this before [Ooh, I never had a love]
Oh, I never had a love like this before [Like this before]
Never, never, never had a love like this before (Baby, baby) [And I’m so happy with it]
Oh, I never had a love (Never had a love)

Never had a love like this before [Ooh, I never been so sure] (Hey, baby)
Oh, I never had a love like this before [How you got me feelin’ so secure]
Never, never, never had a love like this before [Oh, I never, never had a love]
Oh, I never had a love (Never had a love)

Never had a love like this before [Ooh, yeah, yeah]
Oh, I never had a love like this before [Ooh...yes, I]
Never, never, never had a love like this before [Ooh, I never, never had a love]
Oh, I never had a love (Never had a love, love, love)
