[Verse 1]
Every time I see you, boy I can't deny
Some new emotion shakes me up
Everything I'm feelin' takes me by surprise
I've kept it to myself for long enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I'm dreamin'
To wake up to your touch
You're a friend
And boy, you've been the best
There's no one better
Now about your one request, oh
[Chorus]
Be my lover
'Cause I want to
Be my lover
Want to feel you meltin' over me
Be my lover
'Cause I love you
Be my lover
But I got to know you'll never leave
[Verse 2]
Listen
You know you should be careful, especially with me
Passion shouldn't push too far, too fast
Now I've come to know you and I'm likin' what I see
And hope that what we have is gonna last
[Pre-Chorus]
We've gotta good foundation set on solid ground
You're a friend and boy, you've been the best
There's no one better
Now about your one request, oh
[Chorus]
Be my lover
'Cause I want to
Be my lover
Want to feel you meltin' over me
Be my lover
I got to have you
Be my lover
But I got to know you'll never leave me, baby
[Bridge]
Too many times
Two strangers misled keep pushin' ahead
And they're doin' it without knowin'
You and I, we know each other well
But I got to tell
If we're gonna keep love growin'
Yeah
Yeah
Be, be my lover, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I'm dreamin'
To wake up to your touch
You're a friend
And boy, you've been the very best
There's no one better
How about your one request?
[Chorus]
Be my lover
'Cause I want to
Be my lover
I want to feel you meltin' all over me, boy
Be my lover
Have to tell you
Be my lover
That I got to have you right here, right next to me, boy
Be my lover
Be my lover
Be my lover
Be my lover
Let me feel your love
Let me feel you lovin' all over me, boy
Be my lover
Be my lover
