I'm the greatest lover in the world
I was born just to love you, young girls
I'm the greatest lover ever seen
Hey, try me and see what I mean
I'm the first, the last, the best and the most
The women love me from coast to coast
The greatest lover ever made
I can love ya forty nights and forty days
I'm the first lover in the land

The call me a lovin' man
I'm the first, the last, the best and the most
The women love me from coast to coast

From New York City, out to L.A.
The women think about me both night and day
From Canada to Mexico
I'm the one the women love the most
The greatest lover in the world
Born just to love you young girl
Know you can't judge a book by it's cover
Whoa, don't you know I'm a nat'ral born lover?
I'm the first, the last, the best and the most
The women love me from coast to coast

From New York City, out to L.A.
The women think about me both night and day
Canada down to Mexico
I'm the one that the women love most
I'm the greatest lover in the world
I was born just to love these young girls
No, you can't judge a book by it's cover
I'm a nat'ral born lover
I'm the first, the last, the best and the most
The women love me from coast to coast

Yeah, yeah!
FADES-
I'm a lover
Oh, yeah
I'm a lover.
