Over and Over Songtext
von Ashford & Simpson

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

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

Listen, 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


Over and over (say it say it say it)
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 told you before (say it say it)
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

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

Over (say it say it)
Time and time again (say it say it)
You can't be nobody′s lover
You can′t be nobody's lover
Till you′re somebody's friend


Over and over
Over and over
Time and again
Time and again
Over and over
Over and over
Time and again
Time and again

You can′t be nobody's lover
You can′t be nobody's lover
Till you're somebody′s friend
