Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

Sophie B. Hawkins

That old dog has chained you up alright


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


I'll rock you till the daylight comes


Make sure you are smiling and warm


I am everything


Tonight I'll be your mother I will


Do such things to ease your pain


Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed





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


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


I'll rock you till the daylight comes


Make sure you are smiling and warm


I am everything


Tonight I'll be your mother I will


Do such things to ease your pain


Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed





Shucks for me there is no other


You're the only shoe that fits


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


Damn I wish I was your lover





If I was your girl believe me


I'd turn on the Rolling Stones


We could groove along and feel much better


I could do it forever and ever


Give me an hour to kiss you


Walk through heaven's door I'm sure


We don't need no doctor to feel much better


Let me in


Forever and ever and ever and ever





I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind


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


I'll rock you till the daylight comes


Make sure you are smiling and warm


I am everything


Tonight I'll be your mother I will


Do such things to ease your pain


Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
