I don't know
What you've got
But, it plays with my emotions
I want you so much
Darling, I
Want to hold you near
Want to whisper sweet and tender
In your ear
Can't stand the thought of you
With somebody else
Got to have your love
Gotta have it all to myself
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus:
Wanna be your lover, lover, mmm
Wanna be your lover, lover
Loverboy
Lover, lover, yeah
Wanna be your lover, lover
Loverboy

Too far gone
It's hard to stop
Baby, you're my dream in motion
And I won't give up
Ooh, teasing me
With your fire
My finger's on the trigger
You're the one I desire
'Cause, I have this feel good feeling
From nobody else
Got to have your tenderness
All to myself
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus

And I want you really
But, the thing is
There's nothing I can say
To stop you, darling
From running, running away
Won't you stay, stay, stay

I wanna be your lover, lover, yeah
I wanna be your lover, lover, yeah
I wanna be your love
I gotta be your love
I wanna be your love
And I can't stand it baby, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Be your loverboy
