[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, oh
(Be my lover) 'Cause I love you
(Be my lover) But I got to know you'll never leave, oh

[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, oh
(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
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) I 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 love, be my lover) Let me feel your love
Let me feel you lovin' all over me, boy
(Be my lover)
(Be my lover) Ah-ah, ooh
Woah, woah
(Be my lover) Be my lover
(Be my love, be my lover) Let me me feel ya, let me feel ya
Let me, let me, let me feel ya, baby
(Be my lover) Yeah
(Be my lover) And I got to have you right here
Right next to me, boy

[Outro]
(Be my lover)
(Be my lover)
(Be my lover)
(Be my love, be my lover)
(Be my lover)
(Be my lover)
(Be my lover)
(Be my love, be my lover)
(Be my lover)
