Texty: Gerald Levert. Baby U Are.

Before you came around I asked myself
What is this thing called love?
There were clouds, the rain kept pouring down
Then you brought the sun, yes, you did

Showed me all the differences
Between a woman and a girl
Right then I knew I could be a good man
With you inside my world, my world, my world

I don't need to take a toke
'Cuz I'm on a natural high
Everybody's blowing smoke
But girl you never lie
Friends say that we in a pinch
They're just hatin' their lies
I know they want what I got
It comes once in a lifetime, yeah

You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like rainbows and shining stars
Baby, you are
You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like diamond rings and fancy cars
Baby, you are

I was a bad seed
And you nourished me, encouraged me
'Till I grew tall as a tree, as a tree
You had patience to search
Find and bring out
All the best in me, yes, you did

You see things I couldn't see
My mental potential
Girl, you showed me, yeah
Now it's a reality and I promise for you
I'm gonna be all that I can be

I don't need to take a toke
'Cause I'm on a natural high
Everybody's blowing smoke
But girl, but girl you never, never, never, never lie
Friends say that we in a pinch
But they're just hatin' their lies
I know they want what I got
It only comes once in a lifetime, baby, baby

You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like rainbows and shining stars
Baby, you are, yeah
You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like diamond rings and fancy cars
Baby, you are

You are, you are, you are, you are
Baby, you are, I mean it, I mean it, babe
Baby you are, said you're number one in my book
And forever you got me hooked
Baby, you are, you are, you are

Take it back girl, come on
Ooh, who, ooh, who
You're my shining star
Said baby, baby you are, you are, you are
Oh, who, you're everything I need
Baby just stay here with me, you are

You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like rainbows and shining stars
Baby, baby, baby, baby, you are, yeah
You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like diamond rings and fancy cars
Ooh, ooh, baby, you are, yeah
You are, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, you are, yeah
Baby, you are my everything
Baby you are

You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like rainbows and shining stars
Baby, baby, baby, you are
You're the reason why I sing
All of life's finer things
Like diamond rings and fancy cars
Baby, you are
