I got plenty of money
Not like those other girls hanging around
It's kind of funny
But they always seem to pull you down
I get so discouraged
'Cause I never see you anymore
I need your love baby
Your all that I've been living for

Don't want pressure you baby
But all i ever wanted to do

Wanna be lover
Wanna be the only one that makes you come runnin'
Wanna be lover
Wanna turn you on, turn you out
All night long, make you shout
Ooh Lover
Wanna be the only one you come for

Wanna be your brother
Wanna be you mother and your sister too
There ain't no other
That can do the things i do to you

I get so discouraged
'Cause you treat me just like a child
They say I'm so shy (Baby)
But with you I just go on
