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
