Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

That old dog has chained you up, all right

Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage

Sleep beside an empty rage

I had a dream I was your hero

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

Made sure you are smiling and warm

I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother

Bm

I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed

Oh...

Open up coming inside

Gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue

I give you something sweet each time you come inside my jungle book

What is it just too good?

Don't say you'll stay, 'cause then you go away

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

Made sure you are smiling and warm

I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother

Bm

I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other

Bm

You're the only shoe that fits

I can't imagine I'll grow out of it

Damn, I wish I was your lover (yeah)

If I was your girl, believe me

I'd turn on the Rolling Stones

We could groove along and feel much better

Let me in

I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever

Give me an hour to kiss you

Walk through Heaven's door I'm sure

Don't need no doctor to feel much better

Let me in, oh

(I wanna live) Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind

And I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear

Walked for days with no one near

And I return as chained and bound to you

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

Made sure you are smiling and warm

I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother

Bm

I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed

Shucks, for me there is no other

Bm

You're the only shoe that fits

I can't imagine I'll grow out of it

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

I wanna open up, I'm gonna come inside

I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

Gettin' on a subway, and I'm comin' uptown

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

Standing on the street corner, waiting for my life to change

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

And I'm feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young, oh

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

Tryna open up, I wanna come inside

Gunna fill you up, I'm gunna make you cry

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

I'm gettin' on my camel, and I'll ride it uptown, oo

Damn, I wish I was your lover

Bm

Standing on a street corner, waiting for my life to change
