Didn't let me down so low
It makes no difference, baby
I still love you more and more
And every time you smile
Woman, I smile with you
Every time you cry
Now, ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Lord, ain't that lovin' you?
I don't believe
I don't believe you know what I'm talkin' about
I don't believe
I don't believe you know what I'm talkin' about
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
I'm talkin' about love, love, love
You know I told you, baby
I would never let you down
It makes no difference that
I will always be around
You treat me like a school boy
And that you know is true
It makes no difference by you
I'll be there with you
Ain't that lovin' you?
Ain't that lovin' you, baby?
Lord, ain't that lovin' you?
I don't believe
You know I'm smiling with you
Oh, ain't that lovin' you baby?
You know, that's lovin' you
