[LL Cool J]

Do you remember, the first time you fell in love

The way it felt, the way it feels

Bein able to say, from the bottom of your heart

{*smooch*} I love you for real

Your eyes, meet; you feel your heartbeat

Palms are sweaty you can't keep still

And when you finally touch 'em, and hug 'em and kiss 'em

.. OOOOOOH what a thrill!

You was always searchin, and finally your dream came true

They came strollin along

And you promised 'em, straight up and down sweetheart

I swear - I'll never do you wrong

Hand in hand, heart to heart

Nothin in the world could seperate the two

And even though you've only known that person for a short time

You tell 'em I love you -- you're my heart


You argue witcha parents, and they argue BACK

You're too young to be so serious

You tell 'em that's not true, I'll go on without you

and walk away aggravated and furious

You want 'em to approve, but then again it don't matter

The relationship's yours

You feel you're maturin, and hey..

you can fight your own battles and wars

You discuss it with your love and it's the same for them

So the two of you decide we're gonna weather the storm

Life is sweet, kissin caressin and huggin

and keepin each other warm

But now comes the serious part, cause love

Believe me, it ain't a easy task

We'd have one argument too many

and you'd have to ask -- am I still your heart?


Am I still your HEART or is somethin, pullin us apart

Cause baby if it is, please let me know what

You run out the door, I tell you come back

I love you - you shout out, so what?

How could you hurt me? How could you treat me

like you never loved me, were you playing a game?

And if so, I only have one request: sit down and explain

to me, the person who treated you right, did you right

And held you tight, every night

Is there another lover in your life, that has you uptight?

Cause if it is, aww, baby, please.. don't do this to me

I'm tryin to reach you, tryin to talk to you

It's killin me -- cause you're my heart

That's right I admit it


You're my heart I refuse, to let you go

I struggle and fight for you against all odds

Get down on my knees, and pray to God

that our love is in the cards

Cause I know you're right for me

And I know I'm right for you

There's no way in the world I'll let you slip out of my hands

People say forget about it, move on

.. but see they don't understand

You're nothin to them, but you're so much to me

So much in fact that I'd give my life

to stare into your eyes and caress your face

As the priest, announces us man and wife

We'd live happily, ever after

White picket fence and the whole nine yards

And anything that anybody said

I'd disregard -- if I was still your heart


So make up your mind, cause I've made up my mind

I'm beggin you baby please come back home

I'll be tossin and turnin, as I lay in my bed

Sorrow surrounds me I can feel it in my bones

This can't be true, I'm losin you

Oh Lord have mercy, please make it alright

All I wanna do in this whole wide world.. is hold you tight

I've ripped open my heart, shed tears and cried

Now it's up to you baby, please understand

I forgive you for everything, and give you anything

Just let me take ya by the hand

and lead ya, baby I got ya

Protect you like a mother, protects a child

Now it's up to you.. I'ma call you in a little while

You're my heart
