[Verse 1]
You know I'll be down here waiting
I'll take you to see your man
When you are done, we'll go driving
Catch the coast in the evening light
[Pre-Chorus]
These things we're taking
Make us run our mouths, but we never say anything
[Chorus]
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
[Verse 2]
I tell, and the lies are changing
You're spreading it all too thin
She give me those eyes when her man's in plain sight
Or am I just mistaken?
[Pre-Chorus]
These things we're taking
Make us run our mouths, but we never say anything
[Chorus]
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
[Bridge]
We will break under circumstance in the heat of it all
Can you take all the pressure that is left behind?
I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
[Chorus]
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
And I love it when you call me "lover"
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
Ooh, lover
