there goes the lover

(There goes the lover)

(There goes the lover)



There's no need in denying

I know the girls will be crying

Got to bid goodbye

Even though it hurts my pride



You know the fellas

Are jealous, you see

Cause all the girls

Are sweet on me



Here's what they'll be saying



(There goes the lover)

There goes the lover

(There goes the lover)

They're talking bout me



(There goes the lover)

Can't you hear them saying

(There goes the lover)



The girls are broken hearted

For me, they poor grieve

Happy, the guys

Cause they know I'm gonna leave



All the fellas

Know my games uptight

And with the women

I'm right, right, right



Here's what they'll be saying



(There goes the lover)

Talking bout the lover

(There goes the lover)

Can't you hear them saying

(There goes the lover)

They're talking bout me

(There goes the lover)



The guys say I think I'm neat

But when they say it?



The girls know that I'll be gone

And there's no one around

To take my throne



And they need me

(And they need me)

And they need me

(And they need me)



Here's what they'll be saying



(There goes the lover)

Talking bout the lover

(There goes the lover)

Talking bout me

(There goes the lover)

Yeah, talking bout...
