Lyrics

I've been watchin' you from afar
For as long as I can remember
You're all a real man can need
And ever ask for
This is love, girl
This is more than a crush
Yeah
It was Harlem at the Ruckers, is saw you with your man
Smilin', huh, a Coach bag in your hand
I was layin' in the coupe with my hat turned back
We caught eyes for a moment, and that was that
So I skated off, as you strolled off
Lookin' at them legs, god damn they looked so soft (So fine)
I gotta take ya from your man, that's my mission
If his love is real, he got to handle competition
You only knew him five months (That's right)
Besides, he drink too much and smoke too many blunts
And I be workin' out every day, thinkin' 'bout you
Lookin' at my own eyes in the rear-view
Catchin' flashbacks of our eye-contact
Wish I could lay you on your stomach and caress your back
I would hold you in my arms and ease your fears
I can't believe it, I ain't had a crush in years
Hey, lover
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
I see you at the bus stop waitin' every day
Your man must think it's safe for you to travel that way
And I don't wanna violate your relationship
So I lay back in the cut with a crush, that's a trip
Still, he can't stop me from having daydreams
Tonguin' you down with, uh, vanilla ice cream
Kissin' on your thighs under moonlight
Searchin' your body with my tongue, girl, all night
I wonder one day, could it be, simple dreams turnin' into reality
Our love would come down so naturally
We would walk down the aisle of destiny
What your man get his hustle on, got your type scared
Break ya off a little chump change to do your hair
That seems to be enough to satisfy your needs
But there's a deeper level, if you just follow my lead
Hey, lover
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Last week, I saw ya at the mall
Standin' at the pay phone, 'bout to make a call
I had a vision it was me on the other end
Tellin' you, come by, and then you walked in
I touched you gently with my hands
We talked about traveling the distant lands
Escaping all the madness out here in the world
Becomin' my wife, no longer my girl
Then you let your dress fall down to the floor
I kissed you softly and you yearned for more
We experienced pleasure unparallel
Into an ocean of love, we both fell
Swimmin' in the timeless currents of pure bliss
Fantasies interchanging with each kiss
Undying passion unites our souls
Together we swim until the point of no control, but
It's a fantasy, it won't come true
We never even spoke and your man swear he love you
So I'ma keep all these feelings inside (That's right)
Keep my dreams alive until the right time
Hey lover, hey lover this is more than a crush, yeah
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush (Oh-oh, whoa-oh)
Lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush, yay
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey lover, hey lover, this is more than a crush
Hey love, hey love
Hey love, this is more than a crush
Hey love, hey love, hey love, this is more than a crush
Hey love, hey love, hey love, this is more than a crush
Hey love, hey love, hey love, this is more than a crush
Hey love
He don't deserve you, baby
He don't deserve you, baby
