lyrics

YOU’VE GOT A LOVER

I’ve got a lover
You’ve got a lover
But I can tell that we really like each other
Oh oh no
I’m not an option
You’re not an option
But Cupid doesn’t care about his arrows where he drops them
Oh oh he does not
I’m not a cheater
You’re not a cheater
I’m watching carefully with your girlfriend how you treat her
Oh oh yes I am

I don’t think love’s a game
Or a competitive sport
With winners and losers
And great battles to be fought
Guess we’re all just on a quest to be truly understood
I can tell by the words you choose
That you truly could

But if you understand more than my current lovely man
Would it work out day to day?
Do you have a habit I can’t stand?
Would you castigate me if that last line didn’t scan?
Oh oh I think you would

There are other hearts in this equation to consider
Potential mass destruction this whole thing could deliver
Oh oh no no no no no no no

How much should we leave things to timing and fate?
How much do we control the destiny that we make?
Seems to me so many things just happen by mistake

I mean look around the room
Is she really right for him?
That couple in the corner
Is that a good relationship they’re in?
Oh oh who knows
What if this is all a silly story in my head?
For now I’ll just keep quiet
Wait and see instead
Oh oh wait and see

Or let’s meet up in five years
When we’re both single in the hood
You’ll know me at once
The girl who truly understood
