[Intro: Jodeci & K-Ci]
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo (Hey, hey, hey)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

[Verse 1: K-Ci]
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feelings that I have hiding here for you inside, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: JoJo]
You don't know how many times I wish that I had told you
You don't know how many times I wish that I had held you, yeah
You don't know how many times I wish I could mold you into someone

[Chorus: Jodeci & JoJo]
Cherish me as much as I (Who could cherish me)
Cherish you (As much as I cherish you)

[Verse 2: K-Ci & JoJo]
Cherish is the word that more than applies
Oh, oh, you open my eyes each time
Each time I realize, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams (Ooh, yeah)
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
I am not gonna be the one to share
[Chorus: Jodeci & K-Ci]
Cherish me as much as I (You know that I cherish you, baby)
Cherish you (Oh)

[Bridge: Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo]
Oh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh-ooh-oh (You, you, you, baby)
Cherish, cherish (You know I'll cherish every day, baby)
Cherish, cherish (Every day and night, every night and day, baby)
Cherish, cherish (Every day of the week, yeah)
Cherish, cherish (Yeah, yeah)
Cherish, cherish (Oh, oh)
Cherish, cherish (Do you really see?)
Cherish, cherish (Do you really see?)
Cherish, cherish (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

[Pre-Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
You don't know how many times I wish I had told you, uh
You don't know how many times I wish I had held you, yeah
You don't know how many times I wish I could mold you into someone

[Chorus: Jodeci & JoJo]
Cherish me as much as I (Ooh, yeah, into someone)
Cherish you (Who can cherish me as much as I cherish you)
