Lover

Sweetback is one of the greatest bands around and they are also Sade's band. I have always been a huge fan of Sade and Sweetback. When Sweetback put out this album(Stage 2) I was blown away by it. The sweet and beautiful sounds of Aya singing on this track really hits home. Sorry to get all soft on you guys, but sometimes a guy needs to be soft.


Lyrics:

don't know where you are
how near or how far
willing to go
it's time for the show
you learn your part, favorite part
it's when you're my lover

don't know where to go
production is slow
have life as a star
contained in a jar
if i lay my head down on your knee
pretend i'm your lover

so many things i want you to think
think about me
the things you don't see
things we take away
baby look at my face
no one can lie like a lover

if i turn away
baby look at my face
no one can lie like a lover

all of my life
it's all in my guy, yeah
nothings takes me higher
yeah, yeah
touching the sun
is all that i want, yeah
no one takes me higher, yeah
no, no

if there's a way
out of this maze
hand me the key
i'll set me free
touching the sun
all that i want
is to be your lover

touching the sun
all that i want
is to be your lover, yeah

touching the sun
all that i want
is to be your lover, yeah
yeah, yeah

la la la la oh
la la la la oh
la la la la oh, oh
