Been hurt so many times before
Thought that was all love could be
Kept my heart behind closed doors
Till you came and set me free
Every touch, every gentle word
Making me believe again
Baby, I was so unsure
But you changed everything, yeah

Didn't think I could trust
Didn't think I'd let anyone in
But with you it's different
Oh, with you

You showed me what real love is
Not the pain I knew before (knew before)
You showed me what real love is
And I don't need to search anymore
Ooh, what real love is
(What real love, real love is)

No more sleeping all alone
No more crying late at night
You're the comfort that I've known
Making everything alright
Never thought I'd feel this safe
In somebody else's arms
Baby, you erased the pain
With your love, your charm

Sometimes I think about those days
When love meant heartache
When every promise broke
But you came along and showed me
That I was worth more
Than what they gave me
Oh, yes you did

(Ooh, you showed me baby)
(Showed me what love could be)

You showed me what real love is
Not the pain I knew before (knew before)
You showed me what real love is
And I don't need to search anymore
Ooh, what real love is
(What real love, real love is)

Thank you for showing me
What love really means
(Really means to me, yeah)
