[Verse 1]
What we can be this time?
Potential a seed to grow
I won't be casting no shadows
Find my way back home
No smoke and mirrors here
Temptation's a dead-end street
Why would I even waste my time?
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you know might just
Be thinking 'bout this too much
Girl, you know the time's come
To go ahead and make love
[Chorus]
Feel we need to get back to
The true essence of love
I know you know I'm sure
My baby, not maybe
[Verse 2]
On and on, it's gone on for so long
Meet me at the river
Wash your fears away
'Cause I can't take this no more
The pressures of your mind
If I save yours, will it save mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you know might just
Be thinking bout this too much
Girl, you know the time's come
To go ahead and make love
[Chorus]
Feel we need to get back to (You and me)
The true essence of love (Yeah)
I know you know I'm sure
My baby, not maybe
Feel we need to get back to (Feel we need)
The true essence of love (Oh)
I know you know I'm sure
My baby (Oh), not maybe
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
Feel we want
Feel we need
Yeah-yeah
Ooh
