Lover Like You
Gorgon City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know what I deserve
Too many times got strung along
But I know what I deserve
Now you walk my way, made me to smile
Made my day, made it worth my while
For once I swear, I know my words
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
Too many time I played the fool
But I know what I deserve
Deep down I hurt but played it cool
But I know what I deserve
Too many times my love was blind
But I know what I deserve
I never knew I could be kind
No I know what I deserve
Now you walk my way, made me to smile
Made my day, made it worth my while
For once I swear, I know my words
I know you care, know what I deserve
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
I can hear you calling baby
Say the words, say the words
Can you feel me falling down
Say my name, say my name
I can hear you calling baby
Say the words, say the words
Can you feel me falling down
Say my name, say my name
I can hear you calling baby
Say the words, say the words
Can you feel me falling down
Say my name, say my name
I can hear you calling baby
Say the words, say the words
Can you feel me falling down
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
A lover like you
Too many times I played the fool
I need a lover like you
Like you, like you
