Lyrics
Let me tell you why I love him
'Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him, (mmm) then I must be fly (fly)
Because his light (light) it shines so bright (bright) I wouldn't lie (no)
I remember the very first day that I saw him (saw him)
I found myself immediately intrigued by him (intrigued by him)
It's almost like I knew this man from another life (another life)
Like back then, maybe I was his husband, and maybe he was my wife
And even, the things I don't like about him are fine with me (fine with me)
Because it's not hard for me to understand him because he's so much like me (so much like me)
And it's truly my pleasure to share his company
And I know that it's God's gift to breathe the air he breathes
'Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him (mmm) then I must be fly (fly)
Because his light (light) it shines so bright (bright) I wouldn't lie (no)
Ooh
How can the same man that makes me so mad
(Do you know what he did?) Turn right around and kiss me so soft
(Girl, do you know what he did?) If he ever left me, I wouldn't even be sad, no
'Cause there's a blessing in every lesson
And I'm glad that I knew him at all
'Cause he is the truth
Said he is so real
And I love the way that he makes me feel
And if I am a reflection of him (mmm) then I must be fly
Because his light it shines so bright, no
I love the way he speaks
I love the way he thinks
I love the way that he treats his mama
I love that gap in between his teeth
I love him in every way that a woman can love a man
From personal to universal, but most of all it's unconditional
You know what I'm talking about?
That's the way I feel
And I always will, there ain't no substitute for the truth
Either it is or it isn't
('Cause he is the truth) you see the truth it needs no proof
Either it is or it isn't
('Cause he is the truth) now you know the truth by the way it feels
And if I am a reflection of him (mmm) then I must be fly (fly)
Because he is, (light) yes he is (bright)
I wonder, does he know? (I wonder, does he know, I wonder does he know)
