Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The truth about roni, she's a sweet little girl
You can treat her right, feel nice and hold tight
Only tenderonis can give the special love
The special kind of love that makes you feel good inside
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only love
She's my only love
My only heartbeat, yeah
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only love
She's my only love
[Verse 4]
The truth about roni, she's always on the phone
Talkin' to her homeboy, wishin' they were home alone
She said, "You left me letters with the smell of sweet perfume"
This what a real tenderoni likes to do for you
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only lover
She's my only love
My only heart
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only love
She's my only love
[Verse 7]
The truth about roni, she's a sweet lil' 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
[Verse 8]
She's the special kinda girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know, the kind of girl that stands out in the crowd
Find a tenderoni and the roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
[Verse 9]
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only love
My only heart
My heart belongs to my roni
She's my only love
She's my only love
[Verse 10]
The truth about roni, she's a sweet lil' girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
Said, once you had a roni, you will never give her up
[Verse 11]
She's the special kinda girl that makes her daddy feel proud
My heart belongs to my roni
You know, the kind of girl that stands out in the crowd
Find a tender roni and the roni is so right
She's my only love
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life
My heart belongs to my roni
