Can't Be My Lover by John Legend
Lyrics & Translation
English
Have ah piece of body wey every good gyal deserve
But ah won't allow this girl to mess with my nerves
Blessed with figure, not to mention the curves
Through the corner of her eyes she slowly observe
(Sing out)
John Legend
Anytime she come around
Something is about to go down
Listen to the siren sound
Wake up wake up right now
'Cause if I was to go to sleep
Catch me dreaming of a way to creep
Trouble always seems to follow me
Oh don't follow me now
Over and over and over again
I try to tell her no no no
I already have a friend
Over and over she' reeling me in
She says nobody has to know
But I got to let her go
So I had to walk on by
(She can't be my lover)
She's flashing me them pretty brown eyes
(She can't be my lover)
Though there's green grass on the other side
(She can't be my lover)
All I can say is "Hi"
She can't be my lover
Listen listen right now
Anytime she hear the beat
She be dancing right in front of me
Trying to lure me in-between the sheets
But I'm a man and I still get weak
But I'll be damned if I lose my girl
I'll be damned if I don't touch her
Curiosity it killed the cat
Oh and I don't want that (so)
Over and over and over again
I try to tell her no no no
I already have a friend
Over and over she' reeling me in
She says nobody has to know
But I got to let her go
So I have to walk on by
(She can't be my lover)
Flashing me them pretty brown eyes
(She can't be my lover)
And though there's green grass on the other side
(She can't be my lover)
All I can say is "Hi"
(She can't be my lover)
Listen listen right now
Ah couldn't let you pass even if I try
Have a bird in the hand
Why chase one in the sky
Sexy female refuse to comply
Plus she is an empress
Who want ah stand-by
Been receiving love but she can't satisfy
Would like to have my cake and even enjoy the pie
Politely decline like me shy
Honey say me soff, come on give it a try
Look in ah me eyes with seductive eyes
Fill with deception trouble and lies
And ah doh want no more problems in-a meh life
Ask meh fe mi number so that we could enjoy the night
She want
Over and over and over again
I try to tell her no no no
I already have a friend
(Can you hear)
Over and over she' reeling me in
Oh nobody has to know
But I got to let her go
So I have to walk on by
(She can't be my lover)
Flashing me them pretty brown eyes
(She can't be my lover)
Though there's green grass on the other side
(She can't be my lover)
All I can say is "Hi"
(She can't be my lover)

Can't Be My Lover (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Tiene un cuerpo que toda buena chica merece
Pero no permitiré que esta chica me altere los nervios
Bendecida con figura, sin mencionar las curvas
Por el rabillo del ojo ella observa lentamente
(Sing out)
John Legend
Cada vez que ella se acerca
Algo está a punto de pasar
Escucha el sonido de la sirena
Despierta, despierta ahora mismo
Porque si me fuera a dormir
Me encontraría soñando con una forma de escabullirme
Los problemas siempre parecen seguirme
Oh, no me sigas ahora
Una y otra y otra vez
Intento decirle no no no
Ya tengo una amiga
Una y otra vez ella me está atrayendo
Ella dice que nadie tiene que saberlo
Pero tengo que dejarla ir
Así que tuve que pasar de largo
(She can't be my lover)
Me está mostrando esos bonitos ojos marrones
(She can't be my lover)
Aunque hay hierba más verde al otro lado
(She can't be my lover)
Todo lo que puedo decir es "Hola"
Ella no puede ser mi amante
Listen listen right now
Cada vez que escucha el ritmo
Ella está bailando justo delante de mí
Intentando atraerme entre las sábanas
Pero soy un hombre y aún me debilito
Pero me condenaré si pierdo a mi chica
Me condenaré si no la toco
La curiosidad mató al gato
Oh, y no quiero eso (así que)
Una y otra y otra vez
Intento decirle no no no
Ya tengo una amiga
Una y otra vez ella me está atrayendo
Ella dice que nadie tiene que saberlo
Pero tengo que dejarla ir
Así que tengo que pasar de largo
(She can't be my lover)
Mostrándome esos bonitos ojos marrones
(She can't be my lover)
Y aunque hay hierba más verde al otro lado
(She can't be my lover)
Todo lo que puedo decir es "Hola"
(She can't be my lover)
Listen listen right now
No podría dejarte pasar ni aunque lo intentara
Tener un pájaro en mano
¿Por qué perseguir uno en el cielo?
Mujer sexy se niega a ceder
Además, ella es una emperatriz
Que quiere un suplente
Ha estado recibiendo amor pero no puede satisfacer
Le gustaría tener mi pastel y hasta disfrutar del pastel
Rechazar cortésmente como si fuera tímido
Cariño, dime suave, vamos, inténtalo
Mirar en mis ojos con ojos seductores
Llenos de engaño, problemas y mentiras
Y no quiero más problemas en mi vida
Me pide mi número para que podamos disfrutar la noche
Ella quiere
Una y otra y otra vez
Intento decirle no no no
Ya tengo una amiga
(Can you hear)
Una y otra vez ella me está atrayendo
Oh, nadie tiene que saberlo
Pero tengo que dejarla ir
Así que tengo que pasar de largo
(She can't be my lover)
Mostrándome esos bonitos ojos marrones
(She can't be my lover)
Aunque hay hierba más verde al otro lado
(She can't be my lover)
Todo lo que puedo decir es "Hola"
(She can't be my lover)
