I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man,

I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man.

Love you like no other baby,

Like no other can,

Love you like no other baby,

Like no other can.



I want to be your man, I want to be your man,

I want to be your man, I want to be your man.



Tell me that you love me baby,

Let me understand,

Tell me that you love me baby,

I want to be your man.

I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man,

I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man.



I want to be your man, I want to be your man,

I want to be your man, I want to be your man.



I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man,

I want to be your lover baby,

I want to be your man.

Love you like no other baby,

Like no other can,

Love you like no other baby,

Like no other can.



I want to be your man, I want to be your man,

I want to be your man, I want to be your man.

I want to be your man, I want to be your man.
