I must confess
Girl, yes, I wanna be your lover
Take a chance, my love is like no other
On the dance floor getting down
Hold tight, I'll never let you down
My love is definitely the key
Like Boyz II Men, I'm on bended knee
Loving you, not like your brother
Ah yeah, I wanna be your lover

I hear what you say, I see what you do
I know everything I need to know about you
And I want you to know that it's telling me
You wanna be my lover
