Oooh This Jazz Is So
Al B. Sure! Lyrics
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Taking the time to show my love for you, no
Do you love me too girl?
Ooh don't tell me, let it show
When you're with me I know for real
That out love can't help grow
Because the passion you bring to me, my lady
Ooh I won't go
I see a rose in the sky
I'll reach for you my love
And if a petal should fall
I'll catch your heart for you
Oh no
Whisper to me
So that I can see you closer to me
I'm wanting you more and more each day
That's why I'll say
Ooh this love is so, this love is so
Um that I won't let you go (I won't)
Ooh this love is so that I won't let you go
You're lying there waiting for me to make love to you
I'll take all the time I need for you to B. Sure! of my love
Don't be afraid to yell my name
When the love feels this way
And maybe soon you'll see that I'm sincere
Ooh you'll say
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Roses are red and violets are blue
Love is blind and I don't know what to do (When you're)
With me you see that I have no fears
But when you leave me all I can say is
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Taking the time to show my love for you, no
Do you love me too girl?
Ooh don't tell me, let it show
When you're with me I know for real
That out love can't help grow
Ooh I won't go
I see a rose in the sky
I'll reach for you my love
And if a petal should fall
I'll catch your heart for you
Oh no
Whisper to me
So that I can see you closer to me
I'm wanting you more and more each day
That's why I'll say
Ooh this love is so, this love is so
Um that I won't let you go (I won't)
Ooh this love is so that I won't let you go
You're lying there waiting for me to make love to you
I'll take all the time I need for you to B. Sure! of my love
Don't be afraid to yell my name
When the love feels this way
And maybe soon you'll see that I'm sincere
Ooh you'll say
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Roses are red and violets are blue
Love is blind and I don't know what to do (When you're)
With me you see that I have no fears
But when you leave me all I can say is
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
Ooh this love is so
Um, that I won't let you go
