Shoo do, shoo
Shoo do, shoo do do do do
Shoo do, oh shoo do do do, shoo do

Oh, many say
That I'm too young (to let you know)
To let you know just just where I'm coming from
Oh, but you will see
That it's just a matter of time
(My love will surely)
My love will surely make you mine

Ooh, living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong
It's alright with my man, my man
I like the kinds of ways we have our fun
His loving ways send me on and on
Yeah, hey, with my man
People out there can understand
I'm giving him something he can feel
Ah ha ha, to let him know (this love is real)
My love is real

Yeah, I'm giving him something he can feel
Yes I am baby
To let you know (this love is real)
My love is real
(This love is real)

So much love for us to sing
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
Well, so I, so I write this song for you
To prove that real things do come true
(Tell me what it means)
Tell me, tell me what it means, I wanna know, baby

Living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong
It's alright with my man
I like the kinds of ways we have our fun
His loving ways send me on and on
Ooh, with my man
(People out there) People out there, can you understand
I'm giving him something he can feel
I sure want you to have it, baby
To let him know (this love is real)
My love, my love is is real, real, real

Giving him something he can feel
(To let him know this love is real) I want you to know my love
(This love is real)

Giving him something he can feel
Can you feel it? Can you feel it
(To let him know this love is real)
(This love is real) I love him, I love him, I love him

Giving him something he can feel
Let me give you whatcha, whatcha really need, babe
Giving him something he can feel
Can you feel it, can you feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
Giving him something he can feel

I just can't get enough of your funky stuff
No, no, oh, oh babe
You make it so good
You turn a woman around
Yes you will
And I wanna run and
And tell it all the whole wide town around

Living in a world of ghetto life
Everybody around seems so uptight
But nothing's wrong (and it's alright)
It's alright(with my man) with my man
I like the kinds of way we have our fun
Ooh your loving ways send me on and on
Yeah, with my man
