Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am ready and willing
Baby, come get to this
There's a space inside me to fill in
We can start with a kiss

I'll be good, better than good
But you must understand
I'm a man who's very demanding
You've got to give me the best that you got

So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover

You don't know how much I can give you
But you'll know real soon
If you want to be the center of my world
Here's what you got to do

Do me, baby, like I do you
Love your body and soul, oh
Want you to touch all of me
Take my heart in control

So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl

You don't have to play these games
Like some lovers do
Can't you see, I'm serious
I wanna give all my love to you

My lover, oh, yeah, my lover

So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl

So you wanna be my lover




So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl
So you wanna be my lover, my lover girl

Lyrics:
When I wake up early in the morning
And I see you lying happy in my bed
Sleeping oh so softly on your pillow
All these crazy things go through my head
You and I will mean to be forever
Baby, you're my early morning loving vibe
As long as there's a sun, we'll be together
I can't wait to be with you my love tonight

Chorus:
Cause you and I
We make the lovers paradise
You and I
We make the lovers paradise

When I come home early every evening
And I find you waiting happily for me
When I reach my hand up and I touch you
Am I dreaming girl? Are you for real?
You and I will always stay together
Baby, nothing strong enough to make this part
As long as there's a star forever shining
Then you know you hold the secret to my heart


Cause you and I
We make the lovers paradise
You and I
We make the lovers paradise

Here with you and the night
And the feeling
We can know to do sure
In the moonlight
Cause tonight with you here
By the fire
Here we'll stay
Through the night
In our paradise

You and I
We make the lovers paradise
You and I
We make the lovers paradise
