"I Could Be Your Lover" lyrics

I remember walking straight home from school
To the boy with crossed eyes
God, he was cool
I'll be damned if I remember his name
Michael or an Andrew, hundreds of the same

I was always on the edges of you
Creeping 'round the back, your hard-to-follow act
I could never work out what I would do
If he meant his words the same
Boy, I just kept praying

Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover, oh
I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover, oh

I remember one particular time
Oh, his love, nickel and dime
His tenderness a sign
I was wrapped up by the time, it was real
The pressure rushing by, my heart behind the wheel

I was always on the edges of you
Creeping 'round the back, your hard-to-follow act
I could never work out what I would do
If he meant his words the same
Boy, I just kept praying

Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover, oh
I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover
Honey, I could be
I could be your lover, oh
