Lyrics
VERSE 1
The time was in June,
The bees humm’d a tune
The perfume of rose fill’d the air,
When just o’er the way,
Sat a baby one day,
All alone and no one seem’d to care,
But one passer by,
Turn’d and look’d with a sigh,
At the tears and the eyes swollen red,
Then
close to her breast,
The young darling she press’d,
And tenderly to her she said.
CHORUS
Won’t you come over to my house,
Won’t you come over and play,
I’ve lots of playthings, a dolly or two
We live in the house ‘cross the way,
I’ll give you candy and sweet things,
I’ll put your hair in a curl,
Won’t you come over to my house,
And play that you’r my little girl.
VERSE 2
Perhaps you don’t know,
That not long ago,
These toys I am giving to
you,
Were my little girl’s,
Yes, my own little Pearl’s,
And her eyes were like yours, large and blue,
But one night I found,
That the angels came ‘round,
And they took her way up to the sky,
So don’t stay away,
But come over each day,
Or you’ll make your new Mama cry.
CHORUS

Come Over Song Lyrics
(intro) Sean Paul
speak to my baby girl with the sexy little attitude
off the topic you know that’s really rude
stay on me topic girl you know you’ve got me in the mood
Sean Paul! Estelle!
(verse 1) Estelle
If I was to tell you just how much I need you, would you come tonight
Or would you not believe me cause a love that easy never turns out right
I’m trying to change the rules you deserve something good in your life
We’ve waited for far too long so come get your blessing tonight baby
(chorus) Estelle(Sean Paul)
Won’t you come over love, So I can show you love (straight away)
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need baby
So many search to find, A love that is good as mine (it’s a sign)
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me baby
(verse 2) Sean Paul
Estelle..alright!

just to run come and give you this love (yeah yeah)
girl you know that you’ve been on my mind
cant sleep at night and such
baby girl
now that you have shown me the sign if press gas don’t badda with the clutch
baby girl I’m gonna give you loving all night long
so strong that you won’t forget my touch baby girl
Estelle
Baby let me teach you, give you love instruction, show you what I know
Need to take it easy, no need rush it, baby go nice and slow
All this love I can give to you, I expect just a bit in return
You don’t have to be perfect love as long as you’re willing to learn baby
(chorus) Estelle (Sean Paul)
Won’t you come over love(baby girl), So I can show you love (show me girl)
Promise I got enough to give you all that you need baby
So many search to find, A love that is good as mine (baby)
I will not waste your time so bring it all to me baby
(verse 3) Sean Paul
so let me tell you that
my adrenaline is pumpin’
I’m thinkin’ of one thing between you and me
listen me girl
is the pace is too fast for you baby
then we can take it more slowly
it’s your world I take you to the top
I never drop you never flop you
when I’m away me not forgot you
girl my love is coming at you
I’ll be happy when me really catch you
so what you wanna do girl
Estelle (Sean Paul)
Turn out the lights, give you all of my love tonight
Let’s do what lovers do, I’m ready for you
I don’t want to waste your time
So don’t make me beg tonight
Don’t keep me waiting for love
(never never never girl)
wont you come over love
chorus
I used to live alone, but I found you, so certain
I’m yours to take
Now I can’t wait for all the mistakes
We’ve yet to make
Now shake it up, baby, twist and shout
We’re war-torn buildings, all bombed out
Love, not unlike
I got drunk, pissin’ the night away
Love, not unlike
Won’t you come over and love me?
Won’t you come over again?
Can you overcome the unnerving
Ossifying body you’re in?
I used to
live alone just counting the pretty little flowers on my dress
I can’t wait to consecrate this wondrous mess
Words unforgotten ‘til we sing again
Start at the bottom, and then we descend
Love, not unlike
Little joy in/around no more
Love, not unlike
I am woman, hear me roar
Love, not unlike
Larry Lemon, sanctified
Love, not unlike
Won’t you come over and love me?
Won’t you come over again?
Help me overcome the unnerving
Ossifying
body I’m in
I ask all the time
But you never tell me
What have I got to do, to make that man want me?
What have I got to do (Lovin you is makin it easy)
To make that man love me (Lovin you is makin it up)
What have I got to do (Lovin you is makin it easy)
To make that man want me? (Lovin you is makin it up)
What have I got to do (Lovin you is makin it easy)
To make that man love me (Lovin you is makin it up)
What have I got to do?
