Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been watchin' your love affair
(Oh, yes, he has)
And they all turn out the same
After they get everything they want, little girl
They go out and call you bad names
But I knew that the day would come
(Oh, yeah)
When you'll need a true, a true someone
[Verse 2]
Move over
Let me in, let me in, honey
Move over, yeah
Mmm
[Verse 3]
So many times I saw you crying, girl
But I wanna let you know this
I want you to know that I was crying some too
(Sing it, brother)
But you would look right over me, baby
Falling for somebody else
Ooh, yes, you would
Someone who didn't care a hoot about you
Somebody have mercy
But I knew that you would turn to me
When your misery needed some company
[Verse 4]
So move over
I just wanna comfort you, baby
Good golly
Move over
[Verse 5]
Wait a minute, mama, I just gotta tell you this
Tell everybody, baby
[Verse 6]
I've got to tell the truth
(Ha, yeah)
Got to call 'em just like I see 'em, yes, I have
This is what I found out
Real good man (Good man)
True, true man (True man)
He showed ya, you just don't need him, baby (Wait a minute)
[Verse 7]
(Move over)
Been watchin' your love affair for three year, yes, I have
(Move over)
And I've been lovin' you, needin' you, wantin' ya
Wantin' to hold ya and squeeze ya
But if you only let me, honey, just move over
(Move over)
Just a little bit, move over, move over
Darling, let me hold ya, I'm gonna squeeze ya, honey
(Move over)
Please, please, just give me a chance to
Love ya, hold ya, got to, got to, got to have ya
(Move over)
Hold you, honey, got to hold ya
