"Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"
(feat. Hatchie)
(originally 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 smilin' 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

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
I give you somethin' sweet each time
You come inside my jungle book
But 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 smilin' 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 Rollin' Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Let me in
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
I could do this forever and ever and ever and ever...

I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
And I lay by the ocean makin' love to her with visions clear
Walked the 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 smilin' and warm
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
I'm gettin' on the subway and I'm comin' uptown
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Standin' on a street corner, waitin' for my love to change
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young...
