[Verse 1]
Darlin', I love you, I love you
Let's make it clear
I don't know what your friends have been tellin' you
But my heart is sincere
Well darlin', I need you, I need you
It's only the truth
And I swear I'd go out of my mind
With the thought of my losin' you

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I can't tell you how to feel
But the one thing that I'm sure about
Girl, you'll never find nothin' as real

[Chorus]
He'll never love you
Not like I love you
He'll never treat you like the lady you are
(Who you are)
He'll never know you
Not like I know you
He'll never be real, he'll never be true
And you'll never feel like you do in my arms
Not the way I love you
[Verse 2]
Now darlin', I know things ain't perfect
I'm not 'bout to lie
And I know I ain't been quite the angel
But I apologize
Now you think the grass might be greener
On the other side
Ain't no gold at the end of the rainbow
You're gonna find out in time

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I can't help what you can't see
But the one thing that I'm sure about
Girl, I know you should be here with me

[Chorus]
He'll never love you (No, no)
Not like I love you (Not like I love you)
He'll never treat you like the lady you are (Who you are)
Oh, he'll never know you
Not like I know you
He'll never be real, he'll never be true
And you'll never feel like you do in my arms
Not the way I love you

[Bridge]
It's been too long, you need to come back home
Don't matter who's right or wrong, my dear
If I'm to blame, I promise I'll change my ways
And uh, if that's not enough, baby
I'll get down on my knees in the name of our love
[Chorus]
He'll never love you
Not like I love you (Yeah)
He'll never treat you like the lady you are (You are)
(Who you are)
He'll never know you (He'll never know you, baby)
Not like I know you
He'll never be real (Real), he'll never be true (True)
And you'll never feel like you do in my arms
Not the way I love you (Not the way that I love you, darlin')
He'll never love you (No)
Not like I love you (Not like I love you, baby, no)
He'll never treat you like the lady you are (You are)
(Who you are)
He'll never know you (He'll never know you, girl)
Not like I know you (Not like I know, I know)
He'll never be real, he'll never be true
And you'll never feel like you do in my arms
