Lovely One
The Jacksons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh

Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
I'm crazy 'bout you
You wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desire
I get higher every time I speak your name
All I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do)
And the way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you

Now the first time that I saw you
Walking down the street so pretty
Go on with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you
When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane

You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one

Woo

Why don't you believe me when I say that I am true
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
That's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you

Now the first time that I saw you
Walking down the street so pretty
Go on with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you
When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane

You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one

Uh, woo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one (woo)
You are my, you are my (baby), you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
Oh, everything I do
You're the one I got, all I'm askin' for
Love you hard, my baby, that's all I wanna say
You're the one my love, all I'm askin' for
Know you are, are my love
My lovely one, all I ever want
All I'm askin' for, all I'm askin' for
Love you hard, my girl, yeah
(Hey) Hoo
(Stay a while)
(Hey) Hee
(Stay a while) Check out this feelin'
(Hey)
(Stay a while) You're also lovely
(Hey) Hoo
(Stay a while) Check out this feelin'
(Hey) Hoo

(Hey) Hee
(Stay a while) Check out this feelin'
(Hey) Hey, hey, hey
