(Dianne Warren)

I know some lovers would be satisfied
With sweet "I love you's" and some pretty lines
But that won't get you in this heart of mine

No, you'll never steal my heart away
With just words, sweet words that you say
It is all in the things that you do
I'm telling you

If you want me to believe
That I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof
Baby, hold me in your arms
And show me something from the heart
Give me lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof from you

And if the love you got is strong and true
And if you love me like you say you do
Your tender touch will tell the honest truth
And your kiss could never tell a lie
'Cause I'd see it in your eyes
There is one way to ease any doubt
I tell you now

If you want me to believe
That I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof
Baby, I won't be impressed
Unless I get some tenderness
Give me lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof, oh, oh, from you, oh, oh

(I need lovin' proof)
If the love is right
(I need lovin' proof)
Prove it, prove it all night
(I need lovin' proof)
From you
'Cause you'll never steal my heart away
With just words, sweet words that you say
It is all in the things you do
I'm telling you, telling you baby

If you want me to believe
That I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof
Baby, hold me in your arms
And tell me something from the heart
I need lovin' proof
Give me lovin' proof, oh, oh, from you

If you want me to believe
That I'm the only one I need
I need lovin' proof
Lovin' proof
Baby, hold me in your arms
And show me, show me
Give me lovin' proof
I need lovin' proof
Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, ooh
Give me, give me, give me
