The Jammers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna treat you right
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Looking better than money
And the best Mercedes too
Just a taste of your honey
You know you're much too fine, oh
Just as fine as you can be
Just too fine, oh girl
To spend one night with me
In other words
I can't let you get away
In other words
I can't force you to stay
Be mine tonight
I wanna treat you right
Just be mine tonight
Until the morning light
There's nothing to good for you girl
And I will do it all
Nothing I know will bother us
Ha, do my thing
We'll take the phone right off the wall
Picture a . dinner baby
By candlelight for two
Together we'll make it happen baby
You'll feel me inside of you
In other words
I can't let you get away
In other words
I can't force you to stay but oooh
Be mine tonight
I wanna treat you right
Just be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Just be mine tonight
I wanna hold you tight
Just be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Baby baby baby
Just be mine tonight
Baby baby baby
Just be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Feel my love girl
Feel my love inside of you
Feel my love girl
Feel my love inside of you
Hear me baby
Be mine tonight
I wanna hold you tight
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Be mine tonight
I wanna hold you tight
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Be mine tonight
Until the morning light
Just be mine tonight
Just be mine tonight
Feel my love inside of you
Just be mine tonight
I wanna treat you right
Just be mine tonight
I wanna treat you right
Be mine tonight
I wanna hold you tight

Be mine tonight
I want to be with you for the night
I wanna treat you right
I want to be good to you and make sure you have a good time
Until the morning light
I want to be with you until the sun comes up
Looking better than money
You are more attractive to me than material wealth
And the best Mercedes too
You are more valuable to me than the best luxury car
Just a taste of your honey
All I want from you is a small amount of your love
Is all a man can want from you
To me, you are as valuable as gold
You know you're much too fine, oh
You are incredibly beautiful
Just as fine as you can be
You are as good-looking as a person can be
Just too fine, oh girl
You are so stunning, it's hard to believe
To spend one night with me
I want you to spend a night with me
In other words
Put simply
I can't let you get away
I don't want to lose you
I can't force you to stay
But I can't make you stay if you don't want to

Picture a dinner baby
Imagine us having a romantic dinner together
By candlelight for two
I want us to have an intimate dinner by candlelight
Together we'll make it happen baby
Together, we can make anything happen

Feel my love inside of you
I want to be close to you and show you my love
Hear me baby
Listen to what I'm saying
I wanna hold you tight
I want to hug you and be close to you
