Story Behind The Song

This song was written in the 70's in Memphis before Elvis died in 1977. We were recording in the studio there and after taking a break (smoking that stuff) I went back in the recording booth and started singing these lyrics to the previous backgroud instrumental because I had forgotten the original ones. Many years later I revived the song and put a contemporary sound behind it

Lyrics

[Verse One]

Hey hey baby

I don?t even de-serve you. Even though I?m standing here in love with you.

You deserve it, know you do, cause I know that you is.

You?sa beautiful person, just like a virgin.
You?sa beautiful person, just like a virgin (Background)
And pure emotions baby , in every way.

You?sa brand new species, tear my heart to pieces.
You?sa brand new species, tear my heart to pieces(BG)
Every time I look baby, into your eyes.

So when I tell ya I love you, I love you, I love you.

Looooveeee you baaaby

In every way hey hey, and every day.

[Chorus]

I will do what you want me to.
You make this love so real (BG)
Do that thang the way you want me to.
You make this love so real (BG)
It?s all good the way you roll it too.
You make this love so real (BG)
Save it up and give it all to you.
You make this love so real (BG)

[Rap]

I?m tryin to do, what you want me to.

If it wasn?t for you, I couldn?t make it thru
You make this love so real (BG)
When the bills was due, and the friends was few
Baby baby baby (BG)
I drop no sweat cause I?m down with you.
You make this love so real (BG)
I made the sacrifice, paid the price for the better life
You make this, you make this (BG)
Give you everything you want, that?s nice
You make this love so real (BG)
It takes mucho-G to make a house a home
Baby baby baby (BG)

You make this, you make this(BG)
Sometimes yea I?m late coming home
You make this love so real (BG)
Just because we argue don?t mean that I?m wrong
Baby baby baby (BG)
Who without sin cast the first stone
You make this love so real (BG)
And even mother Hubert ain?t got a dog with a bone
Baby baby baby (BG)
And if you might think I fool around on you
You make this, you make this (BG)
Nothing in the world could be farther than the truth
You make this love so real (BG)
I kick it with the boys when it?s nothan else to do
Baby baby baby (BG)
But everythang I need is inside of you
You make this, you make this (BG)
Like your heart, your brain
You make this love so real (BG)
And baby don?t forget about the ?good thang?
You make this love so real (BG)
