Lyrics LL Cool J – Hey Lover

I’ve been watchin’ you from afar for as long as I can remember
You are all a real man can need and ever ask for
This is love
This is more than a crush

It was Harlem at the Ruckers
I saw you with your man
Smiling, huh, a Coach bag in your hand
I was laying in the coupe with my hat turned back
We caught eyes for a moment, and that was that

So I skated off as you strolled off
Looking at them legs, god damn they looked so soft (so fine)
I gotta take you from your man. That’s my mission
If his love is real he got to handle competition
You only knew him for 5 months (that’s right)
Besides he drink too much and smoke too many blunts
And I’ve been working out everyday thinking bout you
Looking at my own eyes in the rear view
Catchin’ flashbacks of our eye contact
Wish I could lay you on your stomach and caress your back
I would hold you in my arms and ease your fears
I can’t believe it, I ain’t had a crush in years

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

I see you at the bus stop waiting everyday
Your man must think it’s safe for you to travel that way
But I don’t want to violate your relationship
So I lay back in the cut with a crush that’s a trip

Still he can’t stop me from having day dreams

I wonder one day could it be
Simple dreams could turn into reality
Our love would come down so naturally
We would walk down the aisle of destiny

What your man got his hustle on gotcha type scared
Break you off a little chump change to do your hair
That seems to be enough to satisfy your needs
But there’s a deeper level if you’d follow my lead
Hey lover

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

Last week I saw you at the mall
Standing at the pay phone ’bout to make a call
I had a vision it was me on the other end
Telling you come by and then you walked in

I touched you gently with my hands
We talked about traveling the distant lands
Escaping all the madness out here in the world
Becoming my wife. No longer my girl

Then, you let your dress fall down to the floor
I kissed you softly, and you yearned for more
We experienced pleasure unparalleled
Into an ocean of love we both fell

Swimming in the timeless currents of pure bliss
Fantasies interchanging with each kiss
Undying passion unites our souls
Together we swim until the point of no control

But it’s a fantasy. It won’t come true
We never even spoke and your man swear he love you
So I’mma keep all these feelings inside (that’s right)
Keep my dreams alive until the right time

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