The Lovers Lyrics
[Intro/Chorus]
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
[Verse 1]
You must abide by the Golden Rule
Do unto others as they do unto you
'Cause what goes around comes around, hear what I say
Why look tomorrow if it's here today
[Chorus]
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
[Verse 2]
My love's getting stronger every day
I keep the feeling (the feeling) in the love we make
If you worry about your feelings, they'll be fine
'Cause I'm a lover, babe, I won't let you down
[Bridge]
So baby, don't let people interfere
Just c'mon and love me your way
'Cause there's nothin' better than to know
That you are a lover, 'cause the lovers...
Oh, I really wanna be your lover, babe
I really wanna be your lover
[Chorus]
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
Oh, break it down
I really wanna be your lover, girl
I really wanna be your lover
[Chorus]
Don't you know the lovers, the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
[Refrain]
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Wanna be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(You and me, girl)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Oh...)
[Chorus]
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
Oh, baby...
[Outro]
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(I've got to be, baby)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Want to be your number one)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Oh, lover, girl)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Wanna be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Got to be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your man)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Hey baby)
