I'll Be Your Lover

The fix is in, we should have known

It was always there from the start

Deep within, so slow and strong

Working its way to the heart

One day you notice a change

And then nothing's the same

I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it

I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this

You crossed your mouth to keep mine shut

My timing was never that good

But I couldn't stand to see you mixed up

With a faker who kept his cards hid

I stayed in the game 'til the end

Waiting for my big hand

I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this

I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it

'Cause I know your deep dirty places of pain

You know your secrets will always be safe

I'll keep them with mine, we're two of a kind

I'll be your lover now

The penny drops, the bottle spins

The stars all shift, the tables turn

The arrow strikes, the die is cast

The high shall be low and the first shall be last

I stayed in the game 'til the end

Waiting for my big hand

I'll be your lover now

You know your secrets will always be safe

Because there's nothing more precious than shame

I'll keep yours with mine, we're two of a kind

I'll be your lover now
