Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shoo-doo, shoo-doo
Shoo-doo, shoo-doo
[Verse 2]
Many say that I'm too young
To let you know just where I'm comin' from
But you will see that it's just a matter of time
My love will surely make you mine
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone seems so uptight
But nothin's wrong and life's alright (Nothin's wrong, it's alright)
Well, my man, (My man) I like the way we carry on
His loving, it sends me on and on, well, my man
People out there can't understand
[Verse 4]
I'm givin' him something he can feel
To let him know that this love is real
The way, woo-hoo, yeah
I'm givin' him something he can feel
To let him know this love is real
This love is real
[Verse 5]
So much love for us, it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams? (Oh, yeah) (Oh, yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
So I write this song for you
To prove that real things do come true
Tell me, what does it mean?
[Verse 6]
Well, I'm livin' in a world of ghetto life
Everyone seems so uptight
But nothin's wrong and life's alright (Nothin's wrong, it's alright)
Well, my man, (My man) I like the way we carry on
His lovin', it sends me on and on, well, my man
People out there should understand
[Verse 7]
I'm givin' him something he can feel
To let him know that this love is real
The way, woo-hoo, yeah
I'm givin' him something he can feel, yeah
To let him know that this love is real
Just, yeah, real, real, real
(I'm givin' him something he can feel) He can feel
Woo-hoo, baby
(I'm givin' him something he can feel)
I'm givin' him something he can feel
Yeah
