twenty-five

1... your smile, don't have to say no more
2... your guidance and all the things you show me
3... the way you look at me when you say "I love you"
4... your headstrong personality
5... your take-charge capability
6... I love the way you cook for me ... garlic mushroom and beef stew
7,8,9... the stuff toy, the massages, the stuff you give for no reason at all
10... the way you spend on me even though you ain't got much
11... for always being yourself regardless of how I or anyone else felt (uhm ... i have to rethink bout the part concerning me)
12... the way you don't trip on me when I'm bein' territorial
13... knowing just what I need even when I didn't make it clear for you to see (uhm ... sometimes)
14... for being understanding when that time comes, you know what I mean
15... for your beauty, inside and out
And to close it out, 16 through 25 is for
All the chicks you coulda hit, but you didn't because of your love for me (ooohhh ... i soooo pray i'm right)

I could give you 25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I can give you 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you

I had to catch my breath for a minute
So many thoughts are streamin in my head
How did things get like this?
Have you ever loved somebody the way you're lovin' me now?
Have you ever been loved by somebody the way I'm lovin' you now?
Let's keep this real

There are more than just 25 reasons why I'm really in love with you
I can give you more than just 25 reasons why I'm never leaving you
But why are things like this?
Why do the things ya do that hurt me?
I love you but I'm hurting coz of what you're doing

Tell me ... what's the deal?
Tell me ... what is real?
Tell me ... why is this how i feel?
Oh God, help us get through this ordeal.
