I Wanna Testify
Cindy & Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What your love has done for me
I just want to testify
What your love has done for me
Friends, inquisitive friends
Are asking me what's come over me
A change, there's been a change
Love just walked in on me
And took me by surprise
Happiness surrounds me,
You can see it in my eyes
Chorus:
I just want to testify
What your love has done for me
I just want to testify
What your love has done for me
Oo, luscious,
It sure has been delicious to me
Oo, luscious,
It sure has been delicious to me
Once I was a hollow man
In which a lonely heart did dwell
Then love came sneaking up on me
Bringing hope to an empty shell
Now I've heard so many times before
That your love can be so bad
But I just want to tell you people
It's the best love I ever had
Repeat Chorus
