a rose in harlem starts to bloom

the world is like a toy balloon

i hear a love song and i cry

and i know why

because i love you girl

because i love you girl

you know there's nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do

nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do for you

because i love you

if you should ask me for the moon

of course i'd show up with the moon

no matter what you ask i'll try

and you know why

because i love you girl

because i love you girl

you know there's nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do

nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do for you

because i love you

because i love you girl

because i love you girl

you know there's nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do

nothing in the world

that i wouldn't do for you

because i love you
