Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what you've got
But it plays with my emotions
I want you so much
Darling, I wanna hold you near
Want to whisper sweet and tender in your ear
[PreChorus]
Can't stand the thought of you with somebody else
Gotta have your love, got to have it all to myself
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
[Chorus]
I wanna be your lover, lover, mmm
Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy
Lover, lover, yeah
Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy
[Verse 2]
I'm too far gone, it's hard to stop
Baby, you're my dream in motion
And I won't give up
Ooh, teasing me with your fire
My finger's on the trigger
You're the one I desire
[PreChorus]
'Cause I get this feeling, feeling
From nobody else
Gotta have your tenderness
All to myself
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
[Chorus]
Wanna be your lover, lover, mmm
Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy
Lover, lover, yeah
Wanna be your lover, lover, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
[PreChorus]
And I want you really
But the thing is there's nothing I can say
To stop you, darling, from running, running away
Won't you stay, stay, stay?
[Chorus]
I wanna be your lover, lover, mmm
Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy
Wanna be your lover, lover, yeah
Wanna be your lover, lover
[Outro]
I wanna be your love
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
I gotta be your love
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
And I can't stand it, baby, ooh
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Gotta be your lover
Girl, I love you
Gotta be your lover
More and more each day
True love, wanna be your love
True love, wanna be your love
I wanna be your love
True love, wanna be your love
I gotta be your love
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
I wanna be your love
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
Gotta be your love
Gotta be your lover
Ooh
True love, wanna be your love
True love, wanna be your love
