I Know How (to Make You Love Me)

[Intro]
Yeah
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out the door
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out for sure

[Chorus]
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out the door
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out for sure

[Verse 1]
I remember my mama's words
She said
Don't you let him
Get to your head
Well I remember
But baby I was falling in
Where there's a fire
Got to jump right in
When I was standing
Outside your door
You couldn't wait to get
Me back in for more
But now I'm here
And giving all the love I have
But you're not giving it back

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I had the feeling something wasn't right
Yeah
You're gonna feel it all alone tonight, boy

[Chorus]
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out the door
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out for sure

[Verse 2]
You do me wrong
Everybody knows you say
Hey baby
That's the way it goes
You think you're bad
So bad when we're all alone
I wanna hear it
When you're on your own

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I'm gonna lay it to you on the line
Yeah
You're gonna miss your water when your well runs dry, boy

[Chorus]
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out the door
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out for sure

[Verse 3: Kurtis Blow]
You're packing your bags up
I know you're leaving me
What can I tell you now?
You don't believe me
I've seen you crying
So I've been trying to keep you in my arms
Don't think I'm lying, girl
I want to be with you like nobody can
'Cause I feel for you
I want to be your man
I'm not in it for taking and the giving
'Cause I love you
That's why I'm living, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I'm gonna lay it to you on the line
Yeah
You're gonna miss your water when your well runs dry, boy

[Chorus]
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out the door
I know how to make you love me, baby
I'm walking out for sure
