LYRIC
[Verse 1: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]
Girl, you are to me
All that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life
To you, always
The love like yours is rare
It must have been
Sent from up above
And I know you'll stay this way
For always
[Pre-Chorus: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers, Barbara Weathers]
And we both know
That our love will grow
And forever
It will be
You and me, hey
[Chorus: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]
Ooh, you're like the sun
Chasin' all of the rain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days
You're the perfect one
For me and you
Forever will be
And I will love you so
For always
[Verse 2: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]
Come with me, my sweet
Let's go make a family
And they will bring us joy
For always
Oh, boy
I love you so
I can't find enough ways
To let you know
But you can be sure I'm yours
For always
[Pre-Chorus: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers, Barbara Weathers]
And we both know
That our love will grow
And forever
It will be
You and me, hey yeah
[Chorus: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]
Ooh, you're like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days
You're the perfect one
For me and you
Forever will be
And I will love you so
For always
[Bridge: Barbara Weathers]
Hey, yeah
[Chorus: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]
Ooh, you're like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days
You're the perfect one
For me and you
Forever will be
And I will love you so
For always
[Outro: Wayne Lewis and Barbara Weathers]

I will love you so
For always
Ooh, ooh
I will love you so
For always

LYRICS
[stage intro]
- San Bernardino! (crowd cheering)
can we talk? [laughter]
Okay. Right now I'd like to tell you a story, okay?
But in order for me to tell you the story, you must,
you just must use your imagination.
Okay, ladies. (gentle music)
Okay, first, imagine
that this is the finest man
you have ever seen in your life!
(crowd cheering) Whoo!
Is he fine or what? (crowd cheering)
But he's mine.
And I love him.
But on my way to rehearsal,
I saw this man.
Whoo-whee!
And girlfriend, let me tell you,
he was finer than my man was!
So I wanted to mess around with him a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
But I couldn't leave my man,
could I? - No.
- So in order to have my cake and eat it too,
I had to keep him a secret.
Do we have any secret lovers out here in the house tonight? (crowd cheering)
This is for you.
[official song]
Here we are, the two of us together
Takin' this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if we're found out, it could mess up both our happy homes
I hate to think about us all meetin' up together
'Cause as soon as I look at you, it will show on my face, yeah
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
We can't let 'em know, no, no, no, we can't leave a trace
Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
We shouldn't be together
But we can't let go, no, no
'Cause we love each other so (ooh)
Sittin' at home, I do nothin' all day
But think about you and hope that you're okay
Hopin' you'll call before anyone gets home
I wait anxiously alone by the phone
How could something so wrong be so right?
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
Livin' two lives just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on in there or fall
Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
Tryin' so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go
'Cause what we feel is, oh, so real
So real, so real
You and me, are we fair?
Is this cruel? Or do we care?
Can they tell what's in our minds?
Maybe they've had secret love all of the time
In the middle of makin' love we notice the time
We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine
Even though we hate it, we know it's time that we go
We gotta be careful so that no one will know
Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
Tryin' so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go
'Cause what we feel is, oh, so real
So real, so real
So real, so real
