[Master G]
 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 hahhh

 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...
 Whoaaaah 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

 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
