A-A-A-Aw yeah

[Verse 1:]
The first time I
Laid eyes on you
I knew exactly what I wanted
Thoughts of romance take up my time
But by His witness, I am haunted

(Pre-Chorus)
Your lovliness had me wrapped around your finger
It's like a perfume in the air
I can't fight this feeling
So deep down within
You got me hooked
I just can't win, girl

(Chorus)
Be my
Sweetheart (ooh, girl)
(I need ya to be, right here with me tonight)

Be my
Sweetheart (ooh, girl)
(Be mine, be my)

[Verse 2:]
I lie awake
('Cause I) Just can't sleep
She won't even heal me
Girl, you know (that you)
Can be mine
Lady, we should be together
Ohhhh

(Pre-Chorus)
Your lovliness has me wrapped around your finger
It's like a perfume in the air
I can't fight this feeling
So deep down within
You've got me hooked
I just can't win, girl

(Chorus)
Be my
Sweetheart (ooh, girl)
(I need ya to be, right here with me, be my)

Be my
Sweetheart (ohh, oh, girl)
(Be mine, be my)

[raps]
Daydreamin'
Taking my time with thoughts of you
I feel like a fool, 'cause it's true
I know it ain't cool
To be caught up
In a love affair that don't exist
Now I'm a frog, be my princess
Strike the kiss

Make a life-long(?) change, so alarming
Won't you be my Cinderella
And me your prince charming
What more can I say
In fact, I ripped the part
Please come to your senses
And be my sweetheart

(Pre-Chorus)
Your lovliness has me wrapped around your finger
Like a perfume in the air
I can't fight this feeling
You've got me hooked
I just can't win, girl

(Chorus)
Be my
Sweetheart
(I need ya to be, right here with me, be my)

Be my
Sweetheart (oooh, girl)
(Be mine, be mine)

Be my
Sweetheart
(be my, be my, sweetheart, girl)

She got it goin'-
Get, get goin' on

(Be mine, be my)

(Be my sweetheart)

I want ya to be, right here with me

Be my
Sweetheart
(Be mine, be my)

(Be mine, be my)
(B-Be mine, be my)
(Be mine, be my)
(B-be mine, be my)
(Be mine, be my)
(B-Be mine, be my)
(Be mine, be my)
(B-Be mine, be my)
(Be mine, be my)

Sweetheart

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
