The O'Jays

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles. The O'Jays made their first chart appearance with "Lonely Drifter" in 1963, but reached their greatest level of success once Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters, signed them to their Philadelphia International label in 1972. With Gamble & Huff, the O'Jays (now a trio after the departure of Isles and Massey) emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with "Back Stabbers" (1972), and topped the Billboard Hot 100 the following year with "Love Train".

Remember the first day that we met?
12th street and Vine 
Lookin' so good in your red and white dress
You blew my mind

I tried to get closer, real closer
I thought she could make me happy 
I want to make her mine, she's so fine
The girl that I want to marry 

She's saw in me
Dollar signs as big as a tree 
And even though she was using me she acted real cool
So smooth 
She said to me, "Money is my security" 
Then all of a sudden it dawned on me 
She was working, working me
Plain as one, two, three
What made my big head so hot?

You better take cover, she's the undercover lover 
(Oh what a girl)
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover
(She's mine)
You better take cover, she's the undercover lover 
(Oh so fine)
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover

Double low, heavenly

Remember the first time that we kissed
You held me tight 
Smearing my face with your lipstick 
All through the night 

I tried to be gentle, real gentle
She said I was so romantic
I'm livin' in her world
She's my girl, I thought I could make her happy

She's saw in me
Dollar signs as big as a tree 
And even though she was using me she acted real cool
So smooth 
She said to me, "Honey, money is my security" 
Then all of a sudden it dawned on me 
She was working, working me
Plain as one, two, three
What made my big head so hot?

You better take cover, she's the undercover lover (cover, cover)
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover (she's my lover)
You better take cover, she's the undercover lover (man, what a girl, what a girl)
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover

How she knows you
She'll control you
She can bill you too 
She really loved you 
She can kiss you
She really moves you too

You better take cover (here she comes, here she comes, here she comes)
(She's on my mind, on my mind) Talking about a lover
You better take cover (on my mind, mind, so fine)
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover
You better take cover, she's the undercover lover
Talking about a lover, here comes the undercover lover
