Love is a thing
that lasts forever
When it’s right
it’s gonna leave you never
The day I saw you standin’ there
Deep inside I knew you cared
You were tellin’ me all the things
I wanted to hear, yeah

I know my mama didn’t lie
She told me just to take some time
She said someday you’re gonna find
everything that you need, yeah
Well I know that she was tellin’ me right
‘Cause I recall her words that night
And since you’ve come into my life
it’s like she said it would be, yeah

True love
I know I will believe in you
I’ll be there
to do the things you need me to
Well loneliness will stay away
There’s gonna be a brighter day
And I’ll be there along the way
To give you all that you need,
yeah yeah yeah yeah

I know my mama didn’t lie
She told me just to take some time
She said someday you’re gonna find
everything that you need, yeah
I know that she was tellin’ me right
‘Cause I recall her words that night
And since you’ve come into my life
it’s like she said it would be
