Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tell me it's real

This feeling that we feel

Tell me that it's real

Don't let love come just

To pass us by

[Verse 2]

Try

It's all we have to do

It's up to me and you

To make this special love

Last forever more

[Verse 3]

Baby, you told me that

You love me and you never

Leave my side

Through the bitter end

Through the thick and thin

[Verse 4]

You promised me, baby

That you wasn't going anywhere

Yes, you did

Baby, keep it real

Let me know just how you feel

[Verse 5]

Tell me it's real

This feeling that we feel

Tell me that it's real

Don't let love come just

To pass us by

[Verse 6]

Try

It's all we have to do

It's up to me and you

To make this special love

Last forever more

[Verse 7]

I can't explain

The way you make me feel

Every time that you tell me that you love me

And you know you did

Too many times

[Verse 8]

Just when I thought that love could never be a part of me

That's when you came along

You showed me happiness

Baby, you are the best

I think you're different from the rest

And I really love you

[Verse 9]

Tell me it's real

This feeling that we feel

Tell me that it's real

Don't let love come just

To pass us by

[Verse 10]

Try

It's all we have to do

It's up to me and you

To make this special love

Last forever more

[Verse 11]

Tell me it's real

This feeling that I feel

Tell me it's real

For your love

I will do anything

[Verse 12]

Tell me it's real

This feeling that we feel

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Tell me that it's real

Don't let love come

Just to pass us by

[Verse 13]

You better

Try

It's all we have to do

It's up to me and you

To make this special love

Last forever more

[Verse 14]

Tell me it's real

Do you really love me?

This feeling that we feel

Don't you really care?

Tell me that it's real

You promised that you'd never leave my side

Don't let love come

You promised that you'll always be there

Just to pass us by

[Verse 15]

Try

It's all we have to do

It's up to me and you

To make this special love

Last forever more

[Verse 16]

Tell me it's real

I'll be there for you, baby

This feeling that we feel

And you be there for me, sweetheart

Tell me that it's real

I thought we were meant to be for eternity

Don't let love come

I thought you loved me, baby

Just to pass us by

[Verse 17]

Try

Your mama told me, take it slow

It's all we have to do

Well, you just don't know

It's up to me and you

Anything about love

If you and I were meant to be

To make this special love

Then you would know

That for sure by the end of the song

Last forever more
