Jeffrey Osborne - Eenie Meenie Lyrics






You won my heart
It's just the start, babe
There's much more to love
Than the way you're thinkin' of

To wear my ring
Worth somethin' special
Now you close the door
The ring thrown on the floor

But if it's alright with you
I won't take a second chance
I don't have to take it
And you don't have to fake it anymore

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

We took a vow
Never to part, babe
Now you're tellin' me
That you have a change of heart

Now it's my turn
To feel like cryin'
Hope some day you'll see
What you meant to me

But if it's alright with you
I won't take a second chance
I don't have to take it
And you don't have to fake it anymore

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way, yeah

So if it's alright with you
I won't take a second chance
I don't have to take it
You don't have to fake it anymore

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
Said that's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Say eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
Said that's the game of love we play
It doesn't have to be that way

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe
That's the game of love we play

Eenie meenie minie mo
Catch a lover by the toe

    I don’t know where you are. We try to enjoy each other. Are you referring to me?? I am hear with you all the time when I on line. I feel better with you around even if we are doing other things. Then suddenly everything is different. I believe you are conflicted about us. I know love is much more. We both know it is not that easy. I want to be close to you as well. What makes you think. The past I try to leave there. But others don’t. I have nothing to do with it. You have someone a real problem. Not if we stop going back and forth every 2 hours.

  56. J.... F....

    @Vziera

    Me too, the moment i heard this song playing on Crossover 105.1 i rushed into my laptop and googled it and had a hard time finding it at first because of the crap hit song of JB with a similar title on it... but in the end i did finally found it :)

  57. M.... H....

    Just heard this from radio, instantly like :D

  58. m.... ....

    I do not know why, but the beginning of this song reminds me Mornin ' sung by Al Jarreau

    I love your songs Soulman

    Soulman, i miss you !

    m.... ....

    Also reminds me of the beginning of "Adventures in the Land of Music" by Dynasty.

    m.... ....

    It could be because George Duke had a hand in the production of this album and he is a very good friend and produced some tracks of Mr Jarreau

  59. T.... ....
