Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The truth about a Roni, she's a sweet little girl
You can treat her right, real nice and hold her tight
Only tenderonis can give a special love
A special kind of love that makes you feel good inside
[PreChorus]
If you believe in love and all that it can do for you
Give it a chance, girl, you'll find romance
And if you find a tenderoni that is right for you
Make it official
Give her your love
[Chorus]
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love (My only heart, baby, yeah)
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love
[Verse 2]
The truth about a Roni, she's always on the phone
Talking to her homeboy, wishing they were home alone, ooh
She sends you lovely letters with the smell of sweet perfume
This is what a real tenderoni likes to do for you
[PreChorus]
And if you believe in love and all that it can do for you
Give it a chance, girl, you'll find romance
And if you find a tenderoni that is right for you
Make it official
Give her your love, oh yeah
[Chorus]
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love (My only heart)
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love
[Verse 3]
The truth about Roni, she's a sweet, old girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
Said once you've had a Roni, you will never give her up
She's a special kind of girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know the kind of girl that stands out in crowds
Found a tenderoni and the Roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
[PreChorus]
If you believe in love and all that it can do for you
And if you find a tenderoni that is right for you
Make it official
Give her your love, oh yeah
[Chorus]
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only lover)
She's my only love (My only heart)
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love
[Verse 4]
The truth about Roni, she's a sweet, old girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
Said once you've had a Roni, you will never give her up
She's a special kind of girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know the kind of girl that stands out in crowds
Found a tenderoni and the Roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
My heart belongs to a Roni
She's my only love (My only heart)
My heart belongs to a Roni (She's my only love)
She's my only love
[Verse 5]
The truth about a Roni, she's a sweet, old girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole, wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
Said once you've had a Roni, you will never give her up
She's a special kind of girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know the kind of girl that stands out in crowds
Found a tenderoni and the Roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
[Verse 6]
My heart belongs to a Roni
She's my only love
