Sure Hope You Mean It Lyrics

(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it baby, baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
Sure hope you love me like you say you do
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Aww, ooh
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

Do you mean what you say when you say that you love me?
With all honesty, I think I love you
It's every day I think about how special we could be
And how your love is everything to me

In my mind I can see no one but you
Like in my dreams I know I'm holdin' you
So now tell me the truth 'cause I need to know
See I want to take control but you gotta let me know

Don't fool me baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it girl, sure do
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
Don't fool me baby girl
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it girl
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

I go unh unh, yeah, yeah
Go unh uhh, yeah, yeah
There's been aces on my spades oh your love I can never change
There's somethin' about you that'll sex away my pain
See this heart of mine just can't be without ya
This dream I found ya, I can't never be, and don't wanna be

It's so hard to find a love so true
But if you mean what you say, I love you
Then don't fool me darlin' with somethin' this real
I only wanna love you and have a couple kids

Don't fool me baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it now
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
Sure hope you love me baby, like you say you do
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it girl
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

See I, I wanna call you some times, and tell you you're the best
And without your precious love for sure I could never rest

(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Baby, don't fool me darlin' no
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
Sure hope you love me baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Like you say you do, sure hope you mean it
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

I swear I'll take care of you baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
I'll do everything you want me to do
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
Yes I will, sure hope you care for me baby
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Cause I'm sure telling everybody how much I care for you
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

And you know I need ya, need ya baby by my side
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
With you I can keep all my selfish pride
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)
You see I love you with heart and soul, yes I do girl
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
And I hope you love me as much as I love you
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

Oh, don't make no fool of me baby, baby, naw
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you mean it darlin', sure do
(Ooh hoo, sure hope you love me girl)

Raphael Saadiq (born Charlie Ray Wiggins on May 14, 1966 in Oakland, California) is an acclaimed American music artist. He is a singer, songwriter and record producer associated with the neo-soul music movement.

Saadiq made a name for himself as the lead vocalist in the rhythm and blues and dance trio Tony! Toni! Toné!. He went by his birth name during the beginning of Tony! Toni! Toné!, where he was joined by his brother Dwayne Wiggins, and his cousin Timothy Christian. He adopted the name of Raphael Saadiq in the mid-1990s.

After the 1996 Tony! Toni! Toné! album, House of Music, (when he performed under his current name) Saadiq started his solo career. He produced a few solo tracks, but Saadiq's next big project became the R&B supergroup Lucy Pearl. He recorded the self-titled album with Dawn Robinson (En Vogue) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest). This group only lasted for one album. His solo album Instant Vintage, released in 2002, also earned 5 Grammy nominations.

Saadiq released his third solo album, The Way I See It, on September 16 2008, featuring collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Joss Stone. Saadiq acknowledges the album's old school soul sound, which he says includes nods to Gladys Knight & The Pips, Al Green, The Four Tops, The Delfonics and The Stylistics.

Various artists have tapped Saadiq to produce their work through the years. Some of Saadiq's most notable work has been with D'Angelo. The 2000 collaboration "Untitled" won D'Angelo a Grammy award for Best R&B Album. In 2007, Saadiq was called on to produce the whole third album from UK Soul singer Joss Stone. Other artists he has collaborated with include The Roots, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, Kelis, Q-Tip and Young Bellz.

In 2002, Saadiq founded his own record label, Pookie Entertainment. Among the artists on the label are Joi and Truth Hurts.

Saadiq has been playing music since the age of six. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, he played bass at church and school. He also enjoyed his on-stage moments at various local events of his hometown.
