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 (oh, yeah)
|
|
If I was your girl, believe me
|
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
|
We could groove along and feel much better (guess what)
|
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
|
