Like A Lover

Grant Lee Phillips

Of all the fishes in the sea

So ghostly white and glittering

Nobody's ever stole my heart

And took it down to the ocean dark

Nobody's ever meant that much to me

Judge and my jury hear my plea

No woman's ever held the reigns on me

No warden's ever held that key

Not a soul on cell block three

Nobody but her come to set me free



I rattle on for miles

Put it on a page

You let me tap away

I'll rattle on for days

Days



Nobody hits home the way ya do

Nobody makes sense out of my blues

Nobody makes me laugh that hard

Or hurts me so 'til I see stars

Nobody holds a candle up to you

Nobody knows best how to shine my crown

Or the ease it takes to knock it down

Nobody's ever been that true

None of the flunkies on the midnight crew

I've found something there that I'm afraid lose



I rattle on for miles

Put it on a page

You watch me tap away

I'll rattle on for days

Days



Nobody's gonna piss me off so bad

It's a certain power that you have

Never one just to recoil

'Fore ya bring my blood to a boil

Nobody like a lover makes you feel so sad



Nobody like a lover makes ya feel so sad

Nobody like a lover

Nobody like a lover oh oh

Nobody like a lover makes ya feel so sad

Sad
