lyrics

BABYFACE

Play some Babyface for me
Cause you know he’s my favorite
And you’re trying to be my favorite, too

You know when you messed up
and you haven’t done enough
so you’re trying to make up for lost time
We’ve all been there, mmm
work, stress had it up to here
Forgot to take care of home
You don’t wanna find yourself all alone

You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know he’s my favorite
You’re trying to be my favorite, too
You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know I’m gonna dance the night
away and look at you like you’re my favorite

Come home
and go straight upstairs
when there’s food prepared
You’re telling her you’re tired
and you need rest, mmm mmm mm
She won’t tell you
that you’re messing up
and she’s feeling stuck
Im not sure what to do for her
but Ill tell you what my man better do

He better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know he’s my favorite
You’re trying to be my favorite, too
You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know I’m gonna dance the night
away and look at you like you’re my favorite

This is For The Lover In You
When Can I see You
bring the Sunshine
And Whip It on me
And baby if I Give You My Heart
Every time I Close my Eyes
Tender Lover Make Things Happen
and We’re Gonna Fight for Our Love

You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know he’s my favorite
You’re trying to be my favorite, too
You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know I’m gonna dance the night
away and look at you like you’re my favorite

You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know he’s my favorite
You’re trying to be my favorite, too
You better play some Babyface for me
Cause you know I’m gonna dance the night
away and look at you like you’re my favorite

This is For The Lover In You
When Can I see You
bring the Sunshine
And Whip It on me
whip it
whip it on me
And baby if I Give You My Heart
Every time I Close my Eyes
Tender Lover
Love Makes Things Happen
and We’re Gonna Fight for Our Love
