damn, i wish i was your lover

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'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

made sure you are smiling and warm

i am everything

tonight

i'll be your mother

i'll do such things to ease your pain

free your mind

and you won't feel ashamed

open up on the 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

or is it just too good?

don't say you'll stay

'cause then you go away

damn

i wish i was your lover

i'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

made sure you are smiling and warm

i am everything

tonight

i'll be your mother

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

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

come

let me in

mm

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

we don't need no doctor to feel much better

let me in

oh

forever and ever 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

i'd rock you 'til the daylight comes

made sure you are smiling and warm

i am everything

tonight

i'll be your mother

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

you're the only shoe that fits

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

damn

i wish i was your lover

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

gettin' on a subway

and i'm comin' uptown

damn

i wish i was your lover

standing on the street corner

waiting for my love to change

damn

i wish i was your lover

and i'm feelin' like a school boy

too shy and too young

oh

damn

i wish i was your lover

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

i'm gettin' on my camel

and i'll ride it uptown

oo

damn

i wish i was your lover

hanging around this jungle

wishing that this love would change
