[Verse 1]
First scene opened with the vision
Of a woman in a chair up in a bedroom
What she doing there?
She is thinking of a man and the man just could be you
Write him in a script on a business trip out of town
Far, but he wish he was near
Does she really want him?
Gotta have him, burning desire
All she wanna say is, 'Listen, my dear, gotta tell ya...'

[Chorus]
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man
Don't you worry about it, baby, I don't need no other man
We could be the dream that we always dreamed, darling
Let's turn up the heat until the water boils over
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man

[Verse 2]
Second scene opens with a woman at the desk
Of a job looking at her timepiece (Oh yeah)
'Cause there is a flight coming in the night
Carrying the man that she's dying to see (Oh yeah)
He's getting attacked in the second act
By a lady that's been missing him bad
She's longing to see him, gotta have him, really need him
He's the kind of lover she never had
Gotta tell him...

[Chorus]
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man
Don't you worry about it, baby, I don't need no other man
We could be the dream that we always dreamed, darling
Let's turn up the heat until the water boils over
I can't wait to see you, see, I need my lover man
