作曲 : Pete Wingfield/Sylvia Robinson

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

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

(Nnh)

For the lover in you, whoa, yeah
