Let Me Be Your Lover Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be your mother, your brother, sister or a friend
I don't wanna be your preacher or your grade school teacher
Always holdin' out my hand
I don't wanna say all the right things
Ever have a sufferer fight
I don't need you to be wrong and I don't have to be right

[Chorus]
Just let me your lover
Want you to need me and not know why
I leave town and you're all empty inside
And the bed, it's just too damn wide
And so you hide, under the covers
Let me be your lover
Let me be your lover

[Verse 2]
You know a lover is a danger
It's a blind roll of a dice
It's mine is yours, and yours is mine
And we become's an I

[Pre-Chorus]
And I say were here for a long time
So we don't have time to waste
You gonna sit and stare at the apple all day
You're gonna give that thing a taste
[Chorus]
Just let me your lover
Want you to need me and not know why
I leave town and you're all empty inside
And the bed, it's just too damn wide
And so you hide, under the covers
Let me be your lover
Let me be your lover

[Bridge]
It's now or never, maybe forever
Don't make me say this twice

[Outro]
Just let me your lover
Let me your lover
Lover
Let me your, ooh
Lover
Ooh, ooh
Let me your lover
