Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you remember when you had your doubts
I fill your fantasy, I'm one and the same
I start your fire, just give me a reign
You're playin' the surface, babe I'm always on hand
To solve your problem, satisfy your demands
Chorus:
I'm your undercover lover, I'm a one night stand
[My crime teller, feel it, some are don't talk of] pity
I'm your undercover man, yes I am
It must've started back when I was a boy
I chase the women like a child others toys
I never dreamed to be playin' for fun
But you're my witness, I'm second to none
You might be thinkin', girl I'm blind to your needs
Each time you're with me, it's so easy to see
(chorus)
(Solo)
You know it's not the last time lady, or you'll be callin' again
I'll show you just what you've been missin'
Don't it feel good, ain't it nice to see me again, Lord to see me
again
(Solo)
(Undercover) I'm a one night stand
(Undercover lover) I ain't ever got your love in my hands
(Lover undercover) Give you all you could stand
Don't wish you'd try to run hard, I'm your undercover lover, yeah
