El DeBarge
You Knew
[Intro: Slim, Mario Winans]
You know
You know
Oh baby
You know all the time I was lovin'
Girl, all the time; girl, all the time
You know, girl, all the time I was lovin' you, baby
("Love with a passion")

[Verse 1: Mario Winans]
Every little thing you said
Didn't come from your heart
Now I'm laying up in my bed
Wondering where we are
'Cause you never meant what you said
And you throw it all on my head
You made me believe that you wanted me
You could've told the truth instead, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Mario Winans]
I don't know why (No, no, no, no)
Didn't realize (Ooh yeah)
You took the time to pick me up
And let me down, baby (Let me down, baby)
Look in my eyes, you can't deny
That you're the reason for the pain I feel inside
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
When I looked into your eyes
There was nothing I can see (Oh baby)
Now I'm lost, can't find my way
'Cause love has blinded me
And now I don't know what to do (Don't know what to do)
Nothing I had to prove (Oh baby)
You played me for a fool (Yes, you did)
But all the time I was lovin' you

[Verse 2: Mario Winans]
Now the way that things were going
I knew I should've left back then
But my heart was steadily growing
Blame it on the man I am
If you felt this way you should've showed it
You shoulda never took so long
You made it clear that you don't care
Where did I go wrong, baby?

[Pre-Chorus: Mario Winans & Slim]
I don't know why (I don't know why)
Didn't realize (Oh)
You took the time to pick me up
And let me down, baby (Oh why, oh why)
Look in my eyes, you can't deny
That you're the reason for the pain I feel inside
(The pain I feel inside)
[Chorus: Mario Winans]
When I looked into your eyes (Oh, yes, you are)
There was nothing I can see (Nothing, baby)
Now I'm lost, can't find my way
'Cause love has blinded me (Love has blinded me)
And now I don't know what to do (Don't know what to do)
Nothing I had to prove (Oh, nothing, baby)
You played me for a fool (Oh)
But all the time I was lovin' you

[Bridge: Mario Winans, Slim]
You said you loved me, baby
(You said you loved me)
But now I'm lonely, girl
(But now I'm lonely)
It's gonna take time for me
(And it's gonna take some time to get myself together)
You could've told me
(You could've told me)
That you don't love me anymore
(That you don't want me)
Somebody tell me why
(It would've stopped a lot of tears from falling, baby)
Baby

[Chorus: Mario Winans]
When I looked into your eyes
(When I looked in your eyes)
There was nothing I can see
(There was nothing, girl)
Now I'm lost, can't find my way
'Cause love is blinding me
('Cause love, 'cause love has blinded me)
And now I don't know what to do
(Well, I don't know)
Nothing I had to prove
(Oh, baby girl)
You played me for a fool (Yeah, yeah)
But all the time I was lovin' you
(I was lovin' you)
[Bridge: Mario Winans]
Can't act like you don't know
Didn't know it all the time
But I can't blame you, I should've known
When I looked in your eyes
(When I looked into your eyes, girl)
Girl, so many nights I sit alone
(Oh, I sit alone)
I just sit and wonder why
(Think about it)
Baby, what you did was dead wrong
Didn't have to lie (Oh baby)

[Chorus: Mario Winans, Slim]
When I looked into your eyes
(Oh, yes, I did)
There was nothing I can see (Who knows?)
Now I'm lost, can't find my way
'Cause love has blinded me
And now I don't know what to do
Nothing I had to prove (Girl)
You played me for a fool
But all the time I was lovin' you
(I was lovin' you)

[Outro: Mario Winans]
When I looked into your eyes
There was nothing I can see
Now I'm lost, can't find my way
'Cause love has blinded me
And now I don't know what to do
Nothing I had to prove
You played me for a fool
But all the time I was lovin' you
