Lyrics
"The Lovers"
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
You must abide by the Golden Rule
Do unto others as they do unto you
'Cause what goes around comes around, hear what I say
Why look tomorrow if it's here today
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
My love's getting stronger every day
I keep the feeling (the feeling) in the love we make
If you worry about your feelings, they'll be fine
'Cause I'm a lover, babe, I won't let you down
So baby, don't let people interfere
Just c'mon and love me your way
'Cause there's nothin' better than to know
That you are a lover, 'cause the lovers...
Oh, I really wanna be your lover, babe
I really wanna be your lover
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
Oh, break it down
I really wanna be your lover, girl
I really wanna be your lover
Don't you know the lovers, the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Wanna be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Hey, hey, hey, yeah)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(You and me, girl)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Oh...)
It seems the lovers win every time
You must hold on to the love that you find
In the world of mass confusion one thing I find
It seems the lovers win every time
Oh, baby...
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(I've got to be, baby)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Want to be your number one)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Oh, lover, girl)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Wanna be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Got to be your lover)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your man)
I really wanna be
I really wanna be your lover
(Hey baby)
