Hey Lover

Hey lover

I'm so lonely.

You ain't touched me for days.

Hey lover,

I'm so weary.

You won't be happy no matter what I say

'cuz I brought you kisses;

all of my finest,

all the best that I had to give

but you threw them a side

'cuz you wanted better

and it makes me wonder if I've got what you want me to give.

Hey mother

I need you to tell me whatever should I do

to keep my lover

here beside me, oh.

I need you to guide me

Oh, what should I do

'cuz I've begged him

got on my knees

made me feel like

some kind of fool

but I'll do

whatever he wants me

whatever he needs me to do.

Hey father

Don't go crazy

'cuz I'm not the baby

you think I am.

Put your gun down,

'cuz you don't need it.

You got to believe me

if you think that you can.

No, he don't mean to

take me for granted,

he just needs to understand.

Maybe he can find another lady,

but I'll be damned if I can find myself another man.

Hey lover

So tired

'cuz I've been workin' to please you.

Hey lover

What's your goddamn problem

that keeps you up cryin' this whole night through?

Is the life that

I try to give you

is it less than you could give yourself.

Do I, do I mean less than your last lover?

Well maybe you should just go back to them.

No lover

No lover

I didn't mean it, no

Oh oh ohhh
