Corinne Bailey Rae - I Wanna Be Your Lover Lyrics






I ain't got no money
I ain't like those other guys you hang around
It's kind of funny but they always seem to let you down
I get discouraged cause I never see you anymore
I need your love babe that's all I'm living for

Don't want to pressure you baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I want to be the only one who makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I want to turn you on, turn you out
All night long, make you shout
Lover, I want to be the only one you come for

I wanna be your brother
I wanna be your mother and your sister too
That can do the things that I'll do to you
And I get discouraged cause you treat me just like a child
They say I'm so shy
But with you I just go wild

Don't want to pressure you baby
But all I ever wanted to do
I wanna be your lover
I want to be the only one who makes you come running
I wanna be your lover
I want to turn you on, turn you out
All night long, make you shout
I want to be the only one you come for.

  6. J.... M....

    well I love it! I love the air she gives it

  7. k.... y....

    Spotify, thanks for updating Prince's discography lately. But why the eff this song is not available? I'm so mad

  8. N.... ....

    A cute remake many never heard. Should be longer at the ending breakdown

  9. M.... G....

    No one can top Prince and she tries, but I miss his voice and the feeling he gives me with his music. She is also an idol of mine, but this song ouzes Prince. R.I.P YOU IDIOT. WE WILL MISS YOUR SEXY ASS.💜➰💋

  10. T.... l....

    Better than original.

  11. F.... L....

    good version... for an infomercial...

  12. v.... n....

    I Love this version great job

  13. N.... N....

    RIP Prince. 💜💜💜💜💜 Good job Corrine Bailey Rae on this cover.

  14. D.... R....

    RIP Prince

  15. 2.... ....

    r.i.p. Prince.

  16. n.... ....

    very nice!

  17. A.... F....

    She killed this!!!!! NICE!!!!!

  18. W.... O....

    Awesome rendition of this Prince classic! And why am I just hearing this song!!! Love the end.

  19. V.... G....

    This is a great cover!

  20. B.... S....

    wonderful

  21. E.... P....

    Prince is the man indeed!

  22. F.... P....

    This is a TERRIBLE cover.

    F.... P....

    I really like CBR, prefer her own stuff. She has done other covers: Led Zeppelin's "Since I've been loving you", Bjork's " Venus as a Child", which are pretty good.

    But I think that she's missed the mark here; it just sounds bland and lacking any depth.

    F.... P....

    Your a moron

  23. i.... ....

    Any live versions of this on youtube??  Couldnt find one.

    i.... ....

    I'm pretty sure this is live

  38. S.... J....

  39. j.... ....

    I swear she could sing the telephone book to me and that shit would sound like butter!!!!!!!! damn I love corinne!!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. s.... ....

    OMG. So kittenish and sexy...a great twist on Prince's version!

  41. M.... ....

    Most soulful artist of this century. Miss CBR you are a princess, a queen, soul royalty and your amazing voice will go down in history (mine anyway)

  42. G.... S....

    @omazzola man shutchoass

  43. L.... ....

    this is god awful - she should have never touched a Prince song

  44. N.... A....

    Lol i heard this song in forever 21

  45. M.... ....

    Her voice makes me, a grown man, feel like a 16 year old boy in love - you amaze me Miss Rae.

  46. S.... ....

    Heard this in Forever 21. 'Tis a shame I only found out about her cover through some cheap fashion store. Ah well, it's an awesome version nonetheless.

  47. S.... ....

    Heard this in Forever 21. 'Tis a shame I only found out about her cover through some cheap fashion store. Ah well, it's an awesome version nonetheless.

  48. I.... W....

    love the way she sings..sound so effortless! :D

  49. T.... L....

    "I wanna be the only one you come for"

  50. E.... ....

    @JamesRadioReplay Good call!!

  51. R.... ....

    she could sing "mary had a little lamb" and i would probably start crying #seriously

  52. Z.... L....

    Good coveer, not like the original, but good.

  53. J.... ....

    There's a bit of Steely Dan's 'Peg' in there with the Maj 7th chords too!

  54. m.... ....

    I am a HUGE Prince fan and normally hate it when people try 2 cover his music, but this is really smooth! Much love 2 CBR, awesome job!

  55. b.... ....

    Took a lot of guts to remake a Prince classic...I like this spin on it. A beautiful mysterious quality to your sound with a quiet undertone. That will always keep audiences wanting more. A wonderful, beautiful, timeless gem of a singer! You go, Corrine. Loved you on the Tom Joyner Morning Show as well. Beautiful live performances!

  56. B.... ....

    omg.. she sings every genre i like in music D: THIS IS GREAT!!! XDD

  57. D.... C....

    Very good cover. Sounds just as old school, but still modern for today.

  58. N.... N....

    She is sooooooooo pretty, you rock corrine bailey rae!

  59. P.... L....

    omg no way she did a prince cover! <3

  60. t.... ....

    I LOVE her unique style and voice ... the over of Paul McCartney's "My Love" is better than the original ... check it out!

  61. S.... ....

    BUENA ROLAAAAAAAAA TE HACE FELIZ AL INSTANTE

  62. N.... G....

    Que essa música chegar ao seu coração ...

  63. M.... ....

    Lovin it!!!! Thanks for the upload!!

  64. b.... ....

    @Way2overit2 your just catching up this is from a 5 song ep of love songs she has two previous albums that are great. The Sea from 2010 and a self-titled work from '06 nominated from 3 Brit awards... She is a talent and her music is evolving check her out

  65. j.... ....

    This is my favorite song of his...I don't really like re-makes, but I love her. She brings a bit of female sexy to it (cuz Prince is the alto, obviously)...

  66. T.... ....

    A major disappointment...she's out of her league for this song!

  67. 1.... ....

    Finally its out!! The lyrics sound good coming out here mouth, too!!
    Good Deal Corinne!
