[Intro: Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
Oh, oh baby, oh
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-hoo, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh, yeah

[Verse 1: Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
You are my favorite lady
And you are my favorite man, yes, you are
(I know that's right)
So it feels good to know that you feel the same

[Pre-Chorus: Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
And forever and a day
Together we will be
Nothing on this earth
Could ever take you away from me

[Chorus: Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
'Cause I've been kissed but I...
(Never knew love like this)
And I've been missed but I...
(Never knew love like this)
Loved someone before but I...
(Never knew love like this)
I've had lots of loving but I
(Never knew love like this)
[Verse 2: Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
You're something special
And you know you're something special, too
I love you (I love you, too)
And that's all I need to hear to make my day

[Pre-Chorus: Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
'Cause you're always on my mind
No matter what I do
Nothing on this earth
Could ever keep me away from you

[Chorus: Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle , Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
I've been kissed but I...
(Never knew love like this)
Oh, and I've been missed but I...
(Never knew love like this) Never
Loved someone before but I...
(Never knew love like this)
I had lots of loving but I
(Never knew love like this)
Oh, I've been kissed
(Never knew love like this)
Oh, and I've been missed but I...
(Never knew love like this)
Loved someone before but I...
(Never knew love like this)
No, I never, never, never, never
(Never knew love like this)
[Bridge: Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle]
When I'm asleep at night
When I'm asleep at night
I dream I hold you tight
Ooh, I hold you tight
I have never had a better love (Better love)
(Never love like this)

[Saxophone Solo]

Oh, oh...
No, I never knew love
(Never knew love like this)

And I've sure been missed
Let's sing it together
