Over and over

Over and over
Time and time again
You can't be nobody's lover
You can't be nobody's lover
Till you're somebody's friend

I love you
To me you're a shining star
First let's find out just who we are

First you got to look deep to see
Take some time in my company
Don't be afraid to explore
This time we've got to be sure

I told you before
I'll tell you again
You can't be nobody's lover
You can't be nobody's lover
Till you're somebody's friend

What's a book before it's read?
How can the cover say all that's to be said?
Who am I, lion or the lamb?
Baby, I want you to know all the folks I am
