Damn I wish I was your lover lyrics
by 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 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
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
Let me in, mmm-mmm

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, oh
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the 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'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

Just 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 the subway and I'm comin' uptown
Damn, I wish I was your lover

Standing on a street corner
Waiting for my love to change
Damn, I wish I was your lover

Feelin' like a school boy
Too shy and too young
Damn, I wish I was your lover

Just 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 my camel
And I'll ride it uptown
Damn, I wish I was your lover

Hanging around this jungle
Wishing that this
