Tell me it's real The feeling that we feel Tell me that it's real Don't let love come Just to pass us by Try, is all we have to do It's up to me and you To make this special love Last forever more Baby you told me that you love me and you'd never leave my side Through the bitter end through the thick and thin. 'How Long Must I Cry' uses great coordination between a slower beat and picking it up to make it more catchy. 'Makin Me Say Goodbye' features a great hook by JoJo and K-Ci's original singing style on the first two verses. 'Tell Me It's Real' was the smash hit from the album and is a really good song.
