Sweet Lady
Tyrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me, sweet lady
Now, any other day
I would play it cool
But I can't now, 'cause I want you
See, I'm hooked on
How you flex your style
And I wanna talk for a little while
I never really seen your type
But I must admit that I kinda like
So maybe if you have the time
We could talk about you being my
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Now, on the regular
I would waste time but I don't want to
'Cause you're so damn fine
And I heard that you were taken
But that don't have to stop you from makin'
Late-night phone calls on the telephone
About your fantasies and ways to get it on
When you need me, I will be
There for you, my sweet lady
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Say you will be my baby
Say you will be my lady
I've got to have all your love
So I won't even front
Just say you'll give it to me
Don't wanna hear the maybes
And I will give you all my heart
If you say you'll be my baby
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Sweet lady, would you be my
Sweet love for a lifetime?
I'll be there when you need me
Just call and receive me
Oh, sweet lady, would you be mine?
Oh, sweet lady, be mine, babe, be mine
Come on over, sweet lady, and be mine, sweet lady

You really gotta give this man his flowers, he went from model, to singer, to actor. And is pretty good at all of them. Rare to find anyone who can transition like that.

I'm watching Baby Boy and came here to watch Tyrese videos. I remember he once said he didn't think he was attractive because of his skin tone. This man is Gorgeous.....and still handsome.
