To Be A Lover

(To be a lover)

(To be a lover)

Haven't I proven in many ways

That with you is where I want to be

Haven't I shown you every day

Just how much you mean to me

But you keep on leading me

Leading me astray

Is this the price

That I have to pay

To be a lover, baby

(To be a lover)

To be a lover, baby

(To be a lover)

Haven't I done just what you wanted

And I been there whenever you call

Haven't I tried to please you, baby

Haven't I given you my all and all

I ask myself every day

Is this the price

That I have to pay

If I'm not, I'm not

The one that you wanted

Then why won't you turn me

Loose, loose, loose, baby

Why do you wanna hold

Hold on to me

When you know it ain't no use

It seems you wanna keep me

Your puppet on a string

Sometimes, baby

It's a hurting thing

To be a lover

(To be a lover)

Oh, to be a lover

(To be a lover)

Don't you know it's so

Rough and tough out here

Trying to be your lover, baby

(To be a lover)

So why won't you turn me

Loose, loose, loose, baby
