[Intro: Pebbles, Babyface, Both]
You never know, you never know it
You never know
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
You never know

[Verse 1: Pebbles]
Deep in the heart
Love has many ways
Of touching your emotions
Taking control of you
And even in thought
Love can make you change
There's no way of controlling love
When it's part of you

[Pre-Chorus: Babyface]
Well, you could be a married man
With two kids and a good woman
And you could give your heart and soul
I swear it don't mean nothing
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel, oh

[Chorus: Pebbles & Babyface, Pebbles, Babyface]
I'm telling you love, boy, makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
(Who you're gonna love)
I'm telling you love
Makes things happen
(Makes it)
You never know what you're gonna do
(Never)
Whenever true love takes hold of you
(You)
[Verse 2: Babyface with Pebbles]
There's never a time
'Cause love will let you know
Love appears at the worst
And even the best of times
It takes over your mind
Your heart is not your own
There's no way of controlling love
It controls your life

[Pre-Chorus: Pebbles, Babyface, Both]
Well (Woo), you could be a faithful girl
With a good heart and good intentions
(Well, well)
And you could never leave your home
I swear there ain't no preventions
(No way)
'Cause love can pull you deep into a spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel, oh

[Chorus: Pebbles & Babyface, Pebbles, Babyface]
I'm telling you love, boy, makes things happen
You never know where it's coming from
(You never know, baby)
You never know who you're gonna love
(Who you're gonna love, boy)
I'm telling you love (I never knew)
Makes things happen
(I'm telling you)
You never know what you're gonna do
(You, you, you never know)
Whenever true love takes hold of you
[Bridge: Babyface, Pebbles, Both]
There's nothing love can't make you do
When love takes hold of you
You can have the purest heart
And the finest attitude
But I swear that don't mean nothing (Nothing)
When your heart's under the spell
It will spin your mind around like a carousel, oh, oh

[Chorus: Pebbles & Babyface, Pebbles, Babyface]
I'm telling you love makes things happen
(Love, love, love, love)
You never know where it's coming from
(Where it's coming from now)
You never know who you're gonna love
(Who you're gonna love now)
I'm telling you love (Sweet love, sweet love)
Makes things happen (Love)
You never know what you're gonna do
(What you're gonna do now)
Whenever true love takes hold of you (Ah baby)

[Outro: Pebbles & Babyface, Pebbles, Babyface]
I'm telling you love
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know, you're never gonna know it)
You never know where it's coming from
You never know who you're gonna love
(Who you're gonna love, baby)
I'm telling you love
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know, you're never gonna know it)
You never know what you're gonna do
Whenever true love takes hold of you
(Ah baby)
I'm telling you love
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know)
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
(You never know)
I'm telling you love
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know)
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know)
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
(You'll never know)
I'm telling you love
(You never know, you never know it)
Makes things happen
(You never know)
You never, never, never, never, never know
No, no, no, no
(You never know)
