Hey lover    (intro)    (sample)

                  

                   Am - Dm                    G                          Am

 (spoken : )                  I’ve been watching you from afar,

                                        Dm                    G                              Am

    for as long as I can remember, you’re all a real man could need,

                                           Dm   - G                                 Am

    and could ever ask for, baby,       this is more than a crush.

                                     Dm      - G - Am

    This is more than a crush.

 

               Am                                F          

1. It was Harlem at the ruckus, I saw you with your man,

           G                                              Em

    a smile on your face, huh, a coach bag in your hand.

               Am                                      F          

    I was laying in the coupe with my hat turned back,

                      G                                   Em

    we caught eyes for a moment and that was that.

 

              Am                       F          

2. So I skated off as you strolled off,

                              G                                     Em

    looking at your legs, god damn, they look so soft.

Am                                          F          

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

    G                                           Em

    if his love is real, he's got to handle competition.

 

    Am                                                F          

3.        You only knew him for five months,

                          G                                          Em

    besides, he drinks too much, and smokes too many blunts,

                      Am                                F          

    And I'll be working out everyday thinking about you,

      G                                 Em

    looking at my own eyes in the rear view.

 

     Am                                       F          

4. Catching flashbacks of our eye contact,

                        G                                               Em

    wish I could lay you on your stomach and caress your back.

                 Am                                   F          

    I would hold you in my arms and ease your fears,

                    G                            Em

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

 

       Am            Dm                 G                Am

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

                       Dm                  G                Am

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

                  Dm                 G                Am

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

                         Dm                G                  E

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

 

    (Am)                                   F          

5. I see you at the bus stop waiting every day,

              G                                                  Em

    your man must think it's safe for you to travel that way.

          Am                                          F          

    And I don't want to violate your relationship,

                     G                              Em

    so I'll lay back in the cut with a crush that's a trip.

 

    Am                             - F          

6. Still he can't stop me        from having daydreams,

G                                        Em

    tongue'n you down with huh, vanilla ice cream.

Am                          F           

    Kissing on your thighs in the moonlight,

G                                                Em

    searching your body with my tongue, girl, all night.

 

     Am                                F          

7.        I wonder one day could it be,

                   G                               Em

    simple dreams could turn into reality.

            Am                                     F          

    Our love would come down so naturally,

                      G                               Em

    we would walk down the aisle of destiny.

 

                        Am                                F          

8. Would your man get his hustle on, got your type scared,

       G                                          Em

    break your off a little chump, change to do your hair.

        Am                                       F          

    It seems to be enough to satisfy your needs,

                           G                          Em

    but there's a deeper level, if you follow our lead. Hey lover.

 

       Am            Dm                 G                Am

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

                       Dm                  G                Am

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

                  Dm                 G                Am

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

                         Dm                G                  E

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

 

    (Am)                     F          

9.         Last week I saw you at the mall,

       G                                       Em

    standing at the pay phone about to make a call.

Am                                F          

    I had a vision it was me on the other end,

G                           Em

    telling you come by and then you walked in.

 

      Am                         F          

10.       I touched you gently with my hands,

           G                                    Em

    we talked about traveling to distant lands.

        Am                                  F          

    Escaping all the madness out here in the world,

          G                           Em

    becoming my wife, no longer my girl.

 

               - Am                                      F           

11. Then          you let your dress fall down to the floor,

       G                                      Em

    I kissed you softly and you yearned for more.

Am                            F          

    We experienced pleasure unparalleled,

G                            Em

    into an ocean of love we both fell.

 

         Am                                   F          

12. Swimming in the timeless currents of pure bliss,

     G                                  Em

    fantasies interchanging with each kiss.

     Am                         F          

    Undying passion unites our souls,

         G                                    Em

    together we swim until the point of no control.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              - Am                            F          

13. But,          it's a fantasy, it won't come true,

           G                                         Em

    we never even spoke and your man swears he loves you.

Am                                              F          

    So, I'm gonna keep all these feelings inside,

G                              Em

    keep my dreams alive until the right time.

 

       Am            Dm                 G                Am

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

                       Dm                  G                Am

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

                  Dm                 G                Am

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

                         Dm                G                  E

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