Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you think, ah?
What you feel now?
What you know, ah
To be real?
[Verse 2]
What you think, ah? (I think I love you, baby)
What you feel now? (I feel I need you, baby)
What you know, ah (Oh)
To be real?
[Chorus]
Ooh, your love's for real now
You know that your love is my love
My love is your love
Our love is here to stay
[Verse 3]
What you think, ah? (I think I love you, baby)
What you feel now? (I feel I need you, baby)
What you know, ah (Oh)
To be real?
[Chorus]
Ooh, your love's for real now
You know that your love is my love
And my love is your love
Our love is here to stay, yeah-yeah, hey
[Verse 4]
What you think, ah? (I think I love you, baby)

What you think, ah? (I think I love you)
What you feel now? (I feel I need you)

To be real

To be real (It's got to be real, it's got to be real)
To be real (It's got to be real, it's got to be real)
To be real, to be real (Oh, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real)
