Be My Lover Now

Giorgio Moroder, Philip Oakey

About Be My Lover Now

"Be My Lover Now" is a song by the British singer and composer Philip Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written by Oakey and Moroder and recorded for the album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. It was released as a single in the UK in August 1985 where it reached number 74 in the singles charts and remained in the charts for 1 week. It was the third and final single to be released from the brief Oakey/Moroder partnership which had started with the single "Together in Electric Dreams" (1984). Because the single was not a commercial success and neither was the album, it effectively ended the short-lived partnership between Oakey and Moroder in 1985. Oakey returned to work with his band, The Human League, full-time.

My taste's a little strange
I've been told
You're the kind of person
I want to hold
You'll never be a picture
I don't care
I've been looking out for you
Everywhere

[Chorus]
Be my lover now
Be my lover now

You make me feel so hot
I want you so
Will I always love you?
I don't know
There may be no tomorrow
Anyway
Let's forget the future
And live today

[Chorus]

I'm tried of trying
Tired of lying
Letting pride get in my way
I'm going to speak true
I really want you
I've got nothing else to say

[Chorus: x2]

I'm tried of trying
Tired of lying
Letting pride get in my way
I'm going to speak true
I really want you
I've got nothing else to say

[Chorus: x2]

So if you need somebody
Just let it flow
I'm waiting for your answer
Let me know
I want to be your lover
Right away
If you want me, baby
You've got to say

[Chorus: x3]
