Can't Be My Lover

[Intro: Buju Banton]

Have ah piece of body wey every good gyal deserve

But I won't allow this girl to mess with my nerves

Blessed figure, not to mention the curves

Through the corner of her eyes she slowly observe (Sing out)

[Verse 1: John Legend]

Any time she come around

Something is about to go down (Go down)

Listen to the siren sound

Wake up, wake up right now

'Cause if I was to go to sleep

Might catch me dreaming of a way to creep

Trouble always seems to follow me

Oh, don't follow me now

[Pre-Chorus]

(Over and over and over again)

I tried to tell her no, no, no, I already have a friend

(Over and over she's reeling me in)

She said nobody has to know, but I've got to let her go

[Chorus]

So I had to walk on by (She can't be my lover)

She's flashing me them pretty brown eyes (She can't be my lover)

Though there's green grass on the other side (She can't be my lover)

All I can say is hi (She can't be my lover), listen, listen right now

[Verse 2: John Legend]

Any time she hear the beat

She be dancing right in front of me

Trying to lure me in-between the sheets

But I'm a man and I still get weak

But I'll be damned if I lose my girl (Girl)

But I'll be damned if I don't touch her (Touch her)

Curiosity, it killed the cat

Oh, and I don't want that, so

[Pre-Chorus]

(Over and over and over again)

Tried to tell her no, no, no, I already have a friend

(Over and over she's reeling me in)

She said nobody has to know, but I've got to let her go

[Chorus]

So I had to walk on by (She can't be my lover)

Flashing me them pretty brown eyes (She can't be my lover)

Though there's green grass on the other side (She can't be my lover)

All I can say is hi (She can't be my lover), listen, listen right now

[Verse 3: Buju Banton]

I couldn't let you pass even if I try

Have a bird in the hand, why chase one in the sky?

Sexy female refuse to comply

Plus she is an empress who want ah stand-by

Been receiving love but she can't satisfy

Would like to have my cake and even enjoy the pie

Politely decline like me shy

Honey say me soft, come on, give it a try

Look in ah me eyes with seductive eyes

Filled with deception, trouble and lies

And I don't want no more problems in-a me life

Asked me fi me number so that we could enjoy the night, she wanna come over

[Pre-Chorus]

(Over and over and over again)

Tried to tell her no, no, no, I already have a friend

(Over and over she's reeling me in)

Oh, nobody has to know, but I've got to let her go

[Chorus]

So I had to walk on by (She can't be my lover)

Flashing me them pretty brown eyes (She can't be my lover)

Though there's green grass on the other side (She can't be my lover)

All I can say is hi (She can't be my lover), listen, listen right now

[Outro]

Listen, listen right now

Listen, listen right now

Listen, listen right now

Listen, listen right now
