(m. riperton - l.ware - r. rudolph) Things I say and do may not come clear through My words may not convey just what I'm feelin' But I hope you'll recognize what's right before your eyes Oh, your heart should realize From where I'm dealin' Baby I'm tryin' to show you that I love you Baby I'm tryin' to show you that I care Baby I'm tryin' to tell you that i, i need you Baby, I'm tryin' to tell you that I care Oh, you may not understand just why I show my hand The method to my madness you inspire Perception is the key It's evident you see What this is all about Is love entire And all I know is true Is this love I have for you And all I know is true Is this love I have for you
