Des'ree, born Desiree Weeks on November 30, 1968 in London, England was one of Britain's most successful pop/soul vocalists throughout the 1990s. She changed her name from Desiree Weeks because she preferred a two-syllable name. In 1994 the hit single "You Gotta Be" hit Billboard Top 5 and was a hit in the UK three times. It also allowed Des'ree to break into America. "You Gotta Be" was also a major hit in the United States, and it was featured in the movie The Next Karate Kid, starring Hilary Swank.

Innocent & Naive Lyrics

Des'ree

They were young, children of the golden sun
Oh , the love they knew, bore no heavy chains
She was coy, played games with her little boy
On his heart she signed her name

Innocent and naive, tenderness would see them through,
Yeah

Now he's a man she's no longer a little girl
Passion and desire came to play
Sister knew, mother didn't have a clue
From each other, they couldn't stay away

Innocent and naive, tenderness would see them through,
Yeah

Now they're old, the fire they know will never burn cold,
Their love burns alive
She's still sweet, he still kisses her tender feet
They know their love will survive

Innocent and naive, tenderness will see them through
