care for me cuz I'm thinking 'bout leavin'

I want you to call me lover

Come on back to me cuz I'm forgot about how you're better

In SMERZ's song "Because," the lyrics revolve around a tumultuous relationship that is hanging by a thread. The repetition of "because we said the same things so many times" highlights the monotony and predictability of their relationship. The phrase "care for me cuz I'm thinking 'bout leaving" suggests that one partner is considering leaving the relationship but is seeking validation and reassurance from the other partner. The lines "I want you to call me lover, I want you to feel blue, and if you ask maybe I'll come on back" indicate that the singer wants to control the dynamics of the relationship and is willing to come back if the other partner agrees to their terms.
The chorus "Ain't always magic but we forgot about it" emphasizes that the relationship isn't perfect, and they have overlooked the flaws in their relationship. The line "come on back to me cuz I forgot about how you're better" suggests that the singer realizes their mistake and wants to make amends with their partner.

Your right .. I love this joint .. I was forced to ask a DJ a few nights back "WTF IS DAT SHEEET ?"
But how ever it does really remind me of the highly unknown "J*Davey" but never the less a true classic

Wow! Smooth as smooth can ever be, a fantastically slippery bass line, erotic vocals, sweet production and a case for less is more. I've been Smerzed.
