It's crazy how that four letter word gets tossed
And I'm guilty, said it so many times before
But I can't front no more

You're the only one that's showing me the real
You're the only one that's giving me these chills
No ex in the past could open up my eyes
Thought I found the one every time

I've said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high
I've said I love you, but I lied
'Cause everything's different this time (oh no)

I've said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high

It'd be foolish
If they thought they could get me back (oh, no, no, yeah)
See, the truth is (the truth is)
You can't lose what you never had
And you got me so bad

You're the only one that's showing me the real (showing me the real)
You're the only one that's giving me these chills (giving me these chills)
No ex in the past could open up my eyes
Thought I found the one every time

I've said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high
I've said I love you, but I lied
'Cause everything's different this time (oh no)

I said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high

You got that real love
That text in the morning, that real love
How Mary J call it, that real love
We got real love

You got that real love
That text in the morning, that real love
How Mary J call it, that real love
We got real love

I said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high
I said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high
(You got my love, talking bout' real love)

I said I love you, but I lied
'Cause love never got me this high

You got that real love
That text in the morning, that real love
How Mary J call it, that real love
We got real love

You got that real love
That text in the morning, that real love
How Mary J call it, that real love
We got real love
