  • Coffee,tea or me baby, touche ole
    My opening line might be a bit passe
    But don't think that I don't know what I'm feeling for you
    'Cause I got a vibe on you
    The first time that I saw you, saw you

    I need your love, and I won't bring no pain
    A little birdie told me that you feel the same game
    I'm for the real, and for you I'm true blue
    Let's make a deal, sugar
    All I want to do is be your one and only lover

    I just want to be your lovergirl
    I just want to rock your world
    Oh, yea

    Hook line and sinker baby, that's how you caught me
    My second verse might be a bit old hat
    But don't think that I don't know what it's doing to me
    'Cause I got a vibe on you
    The first time you saw through me, through me

    I need your love, and I won't bring no pain
    A little birdie told me that you feel the same game
    I'm for the real, and for you I'm true blue
    Let's make a deal, sugar
    All I want to do is be your one and only lover

    I just want to be your lovergirl
    I just want to rock your world
    Oh, yea

    I just want to be your lovergirl
    I just want to rock your world
    Oh, yea

    I just want to be your lovergirl
    I just want to rock your world
    Oh, yea

    I just want to be your lovergirl
    I just want to rock your world
    Oh, yea
