Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
You came inside and captured me
[Verse 2]
And I'm so happy
You're the riddle of my rhyme
You and I together
We'll stand the test of time
[Verse 3]
You know how to love me (Sure you do)
You know how to make it right (So nice)
You know how to love me (There's no denyin')
Sweet as the morning light
[Verse 4]
Sooner or later
I knew you'd come my way
You're welcome to my love
Just promise that you'll stay, yeah
[Verse 5]
You know how to love me
Right in a special way
You know how to love me
Tonight all I wanna say
You know how to love me
You're the real that I feel, never go away
[Verse 6]
Seeing's believin'
Don't you know you're a dream come true
Ain't nothin' deceivin'
'Bout the way that I'm lovin' you, yeah
[Verse 7]
You know how to love me (You know, you know)
You know how to make it right (I can feel it)
You know how to love me (No doubt about it)
Sweet as the morning light
[Verse 8]
Nothing's forever
That's what people say
But each time we're together
Forever and a day, yeah
[Verse 9]
You know how to love me
Right in a special way
You know how to love me
Tonight all I wanna say
You know how to love me
You're the real that I feel, never go away
[Verse 10]
(You know how to love me) Oh, you know that you do
You know how to love me, baby (Ooh, you know how to love me)
Oh I know you do, whoa
(Ooh, You know how to love me) Seeing's believin', don't you know you're a dream come true, yeah
(Ooh, you know how to love me) Oh-oh, baby
Come on take this heart of mine, love me, baby, all the time (Ooh, you know how to love me)
Come on, give it to me, baby
You know how to love (Ooh, you know how to love me)
You know how to love me, yeah
Ooh, I can feel it, I can feel love, no, no, baby (Ooh, you know how to love me)
You know how to love me, yeah (Ooh, you know how to love me)
Ooh you know 'cause you told me so, oh, oh
(Ooh, you know how to love me) There's no denyin'
[Verse 11]
Ooh, you know how to love me
Ooh, you know how to love me
You and I were meant to be (Ooh, you know how to love me)
There's no doubt the world can see that I love you, baby
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, baby, ooh, ooh, baby (Ooh, you know how to love me)
You know how to love me, sure you do (Ooh, you know how to love me
(Ooh, you know how to love me) Oh-oh
[Verse 12]
You know how to love me, baby, I can feel it (Ooh, you know how to love me)
No doubt about it, no, no
(Ooh, you know how to love me) Oh, you know how to love me, baby
(Ooh, you know how to love me) I love you, baby, and I need ya, baby
(Ooh, you know how to love me) I know, baby
Ooh, you know how to love me
(Ooh, you know how to love me) I wasn't born yesterday
(Ooh, you know how to love me) Spent some time in the streets and I played it
