John Michael Montgomery – I Can Love You Like That lyrics

They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your Prince Charming
Would come rescue you

You like romantic movies, you never will forget
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet
And all this time that you’ve been waiting
You don’t have to wait no more

[Chorus]
I can love you like that
I will make you my world
Move heaven and earth
If you were my girl
I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you’re everything
That’s precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

I never make a promise I don’t intend to keep
So when I say forever, forever’s what I mean
I’m no Casanova, but I swear this much is true
I’ll be holdin nothin back when it comes to you
You dream of love that’s everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes

[Repeat chorus]

You want tenderness (tenderness)
I’ve got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man (want a man) who understands
Well you don’t have to look very far

[Repeat chorus]
