Lyrics
He's my lover, he's my best friend
Expressing a close, intimate relationship with the lover, emphasizing friendship.
Never want to lose him so I'm doing all I can
Commitment to keeping the lover, putting in effort to maintain the relationship.
He's my baby, if I were you,

I'd really keep my hands off all the nasty things you do
Advising someone else to refrain from inappropriate actions towards the lover.
