I Wanna Be Your Lover

(album: Rhythm And Romance - 1989)

I got my job, I don't come cheap
Work real hard 'cause the debits run deep
I punch the clock 8 days a week
Always running fast to make ends meet

No matter what you do to make it
Someone's gonna take it
So, appreciate it

Oh, I
Wanna be your lover
L-O-V-E, lover, baby
Like a rocket, love you like no other
Listen to me, listen to me

I, oh, I
Wanna be your lover
Give to the needy, not the greedy
Take you higher, set your world on fire

Seems like the world is filled with greed
Too many people taking more than they need
I've got one life, I've got one dream
Building a better place for you and me

No matter what you do to make it
Someone's gonna take it
So, appreciate it

Oh, I
Wanna be your lover
L-O-V-E, lover, baby
Like a rocket, love you like no other
He-he

Oh, baby, I, oh I
Wanna be your lover
Give to the needy, not the greedy
Take you higher, set your world on fire

I got no time to be wasting
On suicide relations
It's turned around in my life for me
I don't wanna to worry
'Bout emotional courage
And time is too precious to keep

No matter what you do to make it
Someone's gonna take it
So, appreciate it

Oh, I
Wanna be your lover
L-O-V-E, lover, baby
Take you higher, set your world on fire
He-he-hey, yeah

Ooh-ooh, baby
Oh, baby, I, oh I
Wanna be your lover
Give to the needy, not the greedy
Take you higher, set your world on fire

He-hey, oh, baby, I
Wanna be your lover
L-O-V-E, lover, baby
Like a rocket, love you like no other
Listen to me, listen to me
