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 hah

This 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 you

Whoa 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 you

Don'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 gang

This 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 you

Whoa 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 you

Won'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 you

If 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 mellow

Got 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 now

This 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
(Well)
For the lover in you

This is for the lover in you, the lover in you
I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
For the lover in you

I wanna be your L O V E R
Ah, let me be your L O V E R
Gotta be your L O V E R

So this is for the lover in you, the lover in you
I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
For the lover in you

Won'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
This is for the lover in you, for the lover in you

I know she's in there somewhere
This is for the lover in you
Ah, for the lover in you
