Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
You came inside and captured me

And I'm so happy
You're the rhythm of my rhyme
You and I, together
Well stand the test of time

You know how to love me (sure you do)
You know to make it right (so nice)
You know how to love me (there's no denyin')
Sweet as morning light

Sooner or later
I knew you'd come my way
You're welcome to my love
Just promise that you'll stay (yeah)

You know how to love me
Right, special way
(You know how) you know how to love me
Tonight all I want to say
(You know how) you know how to love me
You're the real that I feel, never go away

Seeing's believin'
Don't you know you're a dream come true
Ain't nothin deceivin'
'Bout the way that I'm lovin' you, yeah

You know how to love me (you know, you know)
You know to make it right (I can feel it)
You know how to love me (no doubt about it)
Sweet as morning light

Nothing's forever
That's what people say
But each time were together
Forever and a day, yeah

(You know how) you know how to love me
Right, special way
(You know how) you know how to love me
Tonight all I want to say
(You know how) you know how to love me
You're the real that I feel, never go away

You know how to love me (oh, you know that you do)
You know how to love me, baby




Oh, I know you do, whoa
Oh, I can feel (you know how to love me), I can feel it
