Lyrics

Things I say and do may not come clear through
My words may not convey just what I'm feeling
But I, I hope you'll recognize what's right before your eyes
Oh, your heart should realize
From where I'm dealing
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I love you
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I care
Baby, I'm trying to tell you that I, I need you
Baby, I'm trying to tell you that I care
Oh, you may not understand just why I show my hand
The method to my madness you inspire
Perception is the key
It's evident you see
What this is all about
Is love entire
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I love you
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I care
Baby, I'm trying to tell you that I, I need you
Baby, I'm trying to tell you that I care
And all I know is true
Is this love I have for you
All I know is true is
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I love you
Oh, baby, I'm trying to show you that I care
Oh, baby, I'm trying to tell you that I, I need you
Baby, I'm trying to tell you that I care
And all I know is true
Is this love I have for you
All I know is true
Is this love I have for you
All I know is true is
Baby, I'm trying to show you that I love you (Baby, baby)
Oh, baby, I'm trying to show you that I care (Baby, baby)
Oh, baby, baby (Baby, baby), ooh (Baby, baby)
Baby, baby (Baby, baby), oh, oh-oh (Baby, baby)
Baby, every time we, oh baby (Baby, baby)
Oh, oh-oh (Baby, baby)
I'm trying to show you, I'm trying to show you (Baby, baby)
Oh, oh-oh (Baby, baby)
Baby, every time we, oh baby (Baby, baby)
Oh, oh-oh-oh
