I am the king of the rappin' thing but love is really my game
And when it comes to gettin' the finest chicks
I put all the other rappers to shame
The ladies scream when I'm on the scene
They love my 280-Z and when the party's over they stand in line
To go home with the Master G, ha ha hahThis is for the lover in you
The lover in you, I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
Ah, for the lover in youWhoa honey, can't you see, yeah
It's the lover, in me
Who wants to make love to the lover in you
The lover in you, to the lover in youDon't be misled by what I said, there's one thing beyond a doubt
Inside every rapper there's a lover who's tryin' to get out
So let's make a start, unlock your heart, this is, the place to be
And as we're movin', to the music groovin'
You'll bring out, the lover in me, sing it gangThis is for the lover in you, the lover in you
I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
Ah, for the lover in youWhoa honey, can't you see, yeah
It's the lover, in me
Who wants to make love to the lover in you
The lover in you, to the lover in youWon't you give her a shout ?
Tell her to come on out, got a job, for her to do
You know I'm talkin' about the lover in you
The lover in you, the lover in you
The lover in you, the lover in youIf there's a party in any town
You know the Sugarhill Gang will throw down
With yours truly, the Master G
And the brothers who rap so sensuously
It's got to be mellowGot ta be right
We are the original Rapper's Delight
And love, is what we're talkin' about
So c'mon gang, ah, let's take it on out
Everybody nowThis is for the lover in you, the lover in you
(Well, mmm)
I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
