Hey Love
R. Kelly & The Public Announcement Lyrics

Hey Love may I have a word with you
I'd like to tell you yeah just what I've been going through

I was kicked back with a brewskie
With my jaguar playing bootise
Scoping out the girls with the biking shorts
Chillin' out in the shade by the be -ball court
But then one she excites me
With a shape like yours walking by me
Huh just a few seconds you name and your time

And I will guarantee that you will be mine.

Hey love you're my one true soul desire
Hey love can't you feel this burning fire
Hey love there's one thing that I find so true
When you are near me yeah I go through a change of tune

I was waiting anticipating for a girl like you so amazing
Your personality makes you one of a kind
And when you walk down the street people look from behind
Checking out the way that you carry your self
You look real fine because you're in good health.
Just a few seconds your name and your time
And I will guarantee that you will be mine

Say love when with a cold heart you are dealin'
Say love yeah it's an awful hurting feelin'
Hey love yeah

Can you feel this burning fire
Cause you're my one true soul desire
You're like an around the way girl cool kind of mellow
You can hang with the ladies or chill fellas
You're the type of girl that I always dreamed of
Someone I can love share my thoughts and care for
Just a few seconds your name and your time
And I knew that you would be mine

Hey love yeah
Hey love
Hey love
Hey love love
Hey love love love

This is classic R. Kelly. I love the album "Born Into The '90s. I am a truly a fan of R. Kelly as well as Public Announcement (although it seems they haven't released anything in years.

C Whidbee

My first love and I were headed to Kings Island and we stopped at a record store in Cincinnati, Ohio to get a cassette tape of Monica and I remember getting out and Kells voice sounded as clear as the album and he was belting out that first "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Love!" I will never forget this song or that voice. Seems like so many moons ago. Wherever you are in this world my love is with you Jay.

+Felicia Lashon Chisholm right girl! Like he sang this song and what's so crazy to me is that back then this was the norm so it probably wasn't even a big deal foreal. I'm so starved for real music when I heard this for the first time, in 2015, I was blown away. I said who could do this today? And trey songz had the audacity to say he was better than rkelly. Bitch bye lol

i don't know who you are but please don't say anything about r.kelly because r.kelly is not only a musical genius but he is saved and don' mine shouting out that he knows his savior is the reason for his success through his music. When he opens his mouth nothing but music comes out and that is truley a gift from God. Keep playing all R.kelly his beginning to now

Sorry, but I can't support him without feeling terribly conflicted and hypocritical when it comes to this sick son of a bitch. He had it all and chose to throw it all away for underage girls.
