About Lover

"Part-Time Lover" is a single by Stevie Wonder, from his 1985 album In Square Circle. The song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, R&B, dance, and adult contemporary charts. The song's simultaneous chart successes made Wonder the first artist to score a number-one hit on four different Billboard charts. The song was also released as a special 12" version. "Part-Time Lover" also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart thanks in large part to a performance by Wonder on Top of the Pops in late 1985. The song featured R&B singer Luther Vandross singing the ad-libs and backing vocals, in addition to Syreeta Wright and Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire. Wonder earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1986, for the song. Wonder is noted in the liner notes of the 4-CD set Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection Volume 2 1972-1992 as describing the music for the song as an ode to "You Can't Hurry Love" and "My World Is Empty Without You", both by the Supremes, former Motown labelmates of Wonder. more »

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine

Hey lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

I say "The devil is in you"
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
What a lover
Yes, he is
Sweet lover
