Boyz II Men Feat. MC Lyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I searched to find the love within
I came back to ley you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everthing
But you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
And though I only want the best it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

I guess you wonder where I've been
I've been searching for love within myself
I came back to let you know, Got a thing for you
I came back to tell you that I'm in love with you
And I can't let go
I can't let go of my feelings for you
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
My friends are curious about my behavior around you
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I'm in a state of confusion because of my strong feelings for you
Some people go around the world for love
Some people spend their whole lives searching for love
And they may never find what they dream of
They may never find the perfect love they're looking for
What you won't do, do for love
Love can make you do anything
You tried everything But you don't give up
You've tried everything to find love, but you refuse to give up
In my world only you Make me do for love What I would not do
You're the only one who makes me do things I wouldn't normally do for love
And though I only want the best it's true
Even though I only want the best for myself, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
I can't believe how much I'm willing to do for you because of my love for you
