Penny Lover Lyrics

Penny lover
Don't walk on by
Penny lover
Don't you make me cry
Can't you see girl who my heart's beating for
You're the only girl that I adore
The first time I saw you
Oh, you look so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh
Penny lover
My love's on fire
Penny lover
You're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone like I need you
Nights warm and tender
(oohm)
Lying next to you
Girl I surrender
(oohm)
What more can I do
I've spent all of my life in search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl I'll do anything
Just please stay oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't understand it oh what's come over me
But I'm not gonna worry no not anymore
'Cause when a man's in love he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone
It's you that I miss
With a love like yours it's hard to resist oh, oh, oh, oh

(penny lover)
(don't you walk on by)
Don't you walk on by
(penny lover)
(don't you make me cry)
Don't you make me cry baby
(penny lover)
Ooh (don't you walk on by)
Don't you walk on by
(penny lover)
(don't you make me cry)
Oh, penny baby
(penny lover)
(don't you walk on by)
Don't you walk on by
I remember the first time I saw you baby
(penny lover)
(don't you make me cry)
You had the look in your eye
You had the look in your eye yeah, yeah
Ooh, pretty baby
I just wanted to reachout and touch you baby
I want to reach out and hold ya
I want to reach out and say ooh, ooh
Don't make me cry
I wanna talk about you everyday
(penny lover)
Need you (whoo) need you baby ...
Oh, penny
(penny lover, whoo)
Oh, penny baby
Can't you see I need you baby
(penny lover, whoo)
Don't you walk on by
Ooooh...
(penny lover, whoo)
Can't you see how much I need you baby
My penny
(penny lover, whoo)
Don't you walk on by...
Oh, oh penny
My baby
Walk on by

Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. He got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times A Lady, and probably the Commodores' most famous hit, Brick House.

Richie quit the band in 1981 for a solo career. He released his self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold over 4 million copies. His follow up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in '84. His third album, '86's Dancing on the Ceiling spawned such hits as Say You, Say Me, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Se La, but would be the end of his commercial success.

His 90's albums such as Back to Front, Louder Than Words, and Time all failed to achieve the previous decade's commercial success. Some of his recent work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, hoping to achieve more success. Read more on Last.fm.
