To Be A Lover lyrics

(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
