JOHN LEGEND LYRICS - Can't Be My Lover

"Can't Be My Lover"

(feat. Buju Banton)



[Intro]

Buju

Have ah piece of body wey every good gyal deserve

But ah wont allow this girl to mess with my nerves

Blessed figure, not to mention the curves

Through the corner of her eyes she slowly observe

(Singout)



[Verse 1]

John Legend

Anytime she come around

Something is about to go down

Listen to the siren sound

Wake up wake up right now,

'Cuz if I was to go to sleep

Catch me dreaming of a way to creep

Trouble always seems to follow me,

Oh don't follow me now,



[Hook]

Over and over and over again

I try to tell her no no no

I already have a friend

Over and over she' reeling me in

She says nobody has to know

But I got to let her go



So I had to walk on bye

(She can't be my lover)

She's flashing me them pretty brown eyes

(She can't be my lover)

Though there's green grass on the other side

(She can't be my lover)

All I can say is Hi

She can't be my lover

Listen listen right now



[Verse 2]

Anytime she hear the beat

She be dancing right in front of me

Trying to lure me in-between the sheets

But I'm a man and I still get week

But I'll be damned if I loose my girl

I'll be damned if I don't touch her

Curiosity it killed the cat

Oh and I don't want that (so)



Over and over and over again

I try to tell her no no no

I already have a friend

Over and over she' reeling me in

She says nobody has to know

But I got to let her go



So I have to walk on bye

(She can't be my lover)

Flashing me them pretty brown eyes

(She can't be my lover)

And though there's green grass on the other side

(She can't be my lover)

All I can say is Hi

(She can't be my lover)

Listen listen right now



[Buju]

Ah couldn't let you pass even if I try

Have a bird in the hand

Why chase one in the sky

Sex female refuse to comply

Plus she is an empress

Who want ah stand-by

Been receiving love but she can't satisfy

Would like to have my cake and even enjoy the pie

Politely decline like me shy

Honey say me soff, come one give it a try

Look in ah me eyes with seductive eyes

Fill with deception trouble and lies

And ah doh want no more problems in-a meh life

Ask meh fe mi number so that we could enjoy the night

She want



Over and over and over again

I try to tell her no no no

I already have a friend

(Can you hear)

Over and over she' reeling me in

Oh nobody has to know

But I got to let her go



So I have to walk on bye

(She can't be my lover)

Flashing me them pretty brown eyes

(She can't be my lover)

Though there's green grass on the other side

(She can't be my lover)

All I can say is Hi

(She can't be my lover)
