Be My Lover Tonight
LUV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two baby keep on dancing
Three, four, baby, don′t take chances
You keep your hands right there where they ought to be
You just can't play games with me
Oh baby, baby
But it doesn′t mean of course I wouldn't like you
Cause I like dancing, baby, that's for sure
I′m trying to say you′ve been such a fast love
But I like dancing, baby, that's for sure
You keep your hands right there where they ought to be
You can play games with me
Oh baby, baby

Be my lover tonight 4x

One, two baby keep on dancing
Cause I like dancing, baby, that′s for sure
Three, four, baby, don't take chances
Cause I like dancing, baby, that′s for sure
You keep your hands right there where they ought to be




You can play games with me
Oh baby, baby
