Lyrics

Hey Lover

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been watchin' you from afar,

for as long as I can remember.

You're all a real man can need,

and ever asked for

This is love girl.

This is more than a crush, yeah.

It was (all up at the Bunkers)

I saw ya witcha man

smiling, huh, a coach bag in your hand

I was laying in the Coupe with my hat turned back

we caught eyes for a moment, and that was that

so i skated off, as you strolled off

looking at the legs, god damn, they look so soft (so fine)

I gotta take ya from your man, that's my mission

If this love has really got to handle competition

you only knew her 5 months (that's right)

besides he drink too much, smoke too many blunts

and I be working out everyday thinking bout you

looking at my own eyes in the rear view

catchin flash backs of our eye contact

wish i could lay ya on your stomach and caress your back

i would hold ya in my arms and ease your fears

I can't believe it, I ain't had a crush in years, hey lover

Chorus

(2x)hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush

Lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush

hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush

I see you at the bus stop waitin everyday

your man must think its safe for you to travel that way

and i don't wanna violate your relationship

so i lay back in the cut with a crush that's a trip

still he can't stop me from having day dreams

tounging you down with, huh, vanilla ice cream

kissing on your thighs under moonlight

searching your body with my tounge girl all night

I wonder one day could it be, simple dreams could turn intoreality

Our love would come down so naturally

we would walk down the isle of destiny

what your man got his hustle on gotcha type scared

break ya off a little chump change to do your hair

that seems to be enough to satisfy your needs

but there's a deeper level if you'd follow my lead

Hey lover

CHORUS

Last week I saw ya at the mall

standing at the pay phone bout to make a call

I had a vision it was me on the other end

telling you come by and then you walked in

I touched you gently with my hands

we talked about traveling the distant lands

escaping all the madness out here in the world

becomin my wife no longer my girl

then, you let your dress fall down to the floor

i kissed you softly and you yearned for more

we experienced pleasure unparallel

into an ocean of love we both fell

swimming in the timeless, currents of pure bliss

fantasies interchanging with each kiss

undying passion unites our souls

together we swim until the point of no control

but it's a fantasy it won't come true

we never even spoke and your man (sway) love you

so I'm gonna keep all these feelins inside

keep my dreams alive until the right time

CHORUS
