[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant, New Edition]

I grabbed my pillow in the middle of the night

Shook in a ice cold sweat

Curious of what real love feels like

It hasn't hit me yet (It hasn't hit me yet)

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, New Edition]

You'll reach that stage in your life

You wonder what love will be

My mama told me that one day I would find

(You will find) Love in reality

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]

She said, "Baby, you don't have to wonder

Just kickback and love will come

Love will tap you on the shoulder

Kickback and love will grow"

[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]

I see the look that's in a young girls eye

As I watch TV

This thing called love I've got to try

Leave this script for me

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, New Edition]

It's time to learn all about

True love without a doubt

Can't fight the feeling when it comes around

(You will know) When the girl you found

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]

Mama said, "Baby, you don't have to wonder

Kickback and love will come

Love will tap you on the shoulder, girl

Kickback and love will grow"

My mama said, "Kickback and love will flow"

Mama said, "Kickback and love will grow"

[Verse 3: MIchael Bivins + Ronnie DeVoe]

Now I'm kind of young and I don't understand

What it is about love that attracts a man

Or it could it be you got to be of age

Or tell me Mike is love just a stage

Love when does it come, how, when, and why

Does it bring happiness? Does it make you cry?

My mother told me one day I'll know

Just kickback and love will grow

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]

Baby, you don't have to wonder

Just kickback and love will come

Love will tap you on the shoulder

Kickback and love will grow

Baby, you don't have to wonder

Just kickback and love will come

Love will tap you on the shoulder

Kickback and love will grow

Baby, you don't have to wonder
