Penny Lover
Lionel Richie · Can't Slow Down
oh u looked so fine
and i had a feeling

now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
when im all alone its u that i miss
girl a love like yours is hard to resist
oh oh oh oh oh oh
chorus;
Penny love dont u walk on by
Penny lover u're my hearts desire
tell me baby now could this be true
that i can need someone
like i need you
Nights ,warm & tender

that why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
when im lost & alone its u that i miss
girl a love like yours is hard to resist
oh oh oh oh oh
