I CAN TELL YOU THAT

Luther Vandross and Hubert Eaves, III

(album: POWER OF LOVE - 1991)





(Talk about love, talk about love)

(Talk about love, talk about love)

Love, love, love

(Talk about love, talk about love) Alright

Love, love, love

(Talk about love, talk about love)



Verse I:

One day I'll always remember

Was when you walked into my life

It was a very special night

When we danced so close, so tender

It gave my heart the second chance

That I'd been waiting for



Verse I B:

Our love is falling

All kinds of pressure has temptation calling

It gives me fever

But no matter what, I ain't gonna leave you

I'm gonna stay 'til the last day

Worry no more, what is love for

I hear love knocking honey

Come on, open the door



Chorus:

You know you've got me to love

I can tell you that

If you ever should need some love

You just call me back

I've been loving you for the start

Let me tell you that

And I'll keep loving you from my heart

Sure can tell you that

You've got so much  (To love)



Verse II:

Every time that we kiss

I'm reminded it's you I miss

I just love it when we love like this

I can tell you that

Please forgive me if I pout

But my world would turn inside out

If on leaving me, you insist

Let me tell you that



Verse II B:

I start to hold you, but you pull back not much just a little

I can't control you

When you get so caught up in the middle

First you say yes, then you say no

Said you're gonna stay, now you're gonna go

You know I'll tell you honey

But I think you already know



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:

I can you this

Anytime you go I really miss you

Nothing to do, tired of my friends

Won't you come back and love me again

So I can tell you that

You've got me forever girl to love



Repeat Verse I B



Repeat Chorus
