For the Lover in YouHoward Hewett

[Intro: Howard Hewett, Woman]
So, why are you so quiet?
- Howard, I really don't know how to put it in words
Just take your time, baby, tell me
- I'm scared. It's painful. It's so confusing. A man seems to be one thing but turns out to be something else
I can tell that you've been, you've been hurt before
- I'm just so tired of being disappointed
You know what's funny? There's some men out there that really don't know how to treat a woman. You know, they don't understand that the more you give, the more you'll receive. I mean, if you give your woman a house, she'll return a home. If you give her food, she'll return a meal. If you give her your seed, she'll return a child. And that's why I want you to completely understand that this is for the lover in you

[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
It's got to be real
Girl, I could write a book on how you're making me feel, yeah
I know I'll never find, baby
Another who could match the love you've given to me
So

[Chorus: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(This is) For the lover in you
(This ring) It means I'll always be true
(This is) How we'll start love anew
(This time) Oh, it's gonna last forever

[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
I trust you, yes, I do, girl
Oh, you're not the kind a guy could easily charm
'Cause the meaning of love
Is always shown to me when you are wrapped in my arms
Oh baby

[Chorus: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(This is) For the lover in you
(This ring) It means I'll always be true
(This is) Girl, how we'll start love anew
(This time) It's gonna last forever
I don't wanna give you up, no, hey
(This is) I love you, baby
(This ring) Said it's you
(This is) For the lover in you, girl, hey
(This time) It's gonna last (forever)

[Bridge: Howard Hewett]
Oh, I could say I never met a girl, no, no
Who satisfied my mental and my physical thing, oh
When I lay me down to sleep
I rest assured with the thought that you are laying here
That sweet body next to me, oh baby, yeah
My baby

[Chorus: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(This is) It's for the lover in you
(This ring) It means I'll always be true
(This is) How we'll start love anew
(This time) Hey, it'll last (forever)
Oh, break it down now, baby, say yeah

[Bridge: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
So much love between us
I'll be the one you come running to
So much love between us
I'll be the one to come running
(Be the one to come running)
Oh, yes, I will, girl
I'll come running home to you
Oh, girl, you give me sweet love
(Sweet, sweet, sweet lovin')
With a woman like you, I don't need to play around
Oh, you're more (More than just one woman)
Girl, you're blowing my mind
(You're blowing my mind with the love that you're giving)
I just wanna hear you say (I just wanna hear you say)
Every day

[Outro: Howard Hewett, Background Singers]
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
I'm gonna love you
(This ring is for the lover, the lover in you)
Oh baby, not just for a little while, baby, but forever
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
Take me home with you, baby
(This time is for the lover, the lover in you, forever)
'Cause I know how I'm gonna love you forever
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
You, you are my love, my life, my soul
(This ring is for the lover, the lover in you)
Oh, I'm gonna love you forevermore
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
For the lover in you with this ring
(This time is for the lover, the lover in you, forever)
With this ring, I'll love you forever
Don't, don't let me go, girl
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
Don't let me go, baby, don't let me go
(This ring is for the lover, the lover in you)
Just love me, let me in your life
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
In your love, baby, in your, your heart
(This time is for the lover, the lover in you)
(This is for the lover, the lover in you)
