"I'll Cover You" lyrics
Wilson Jermaine Heredia & Jesse L. Martin Lyrics
"I'll Cover You"
(from "Rent (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
[ANGEL:]
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover
And I'll cover you
[COLLINS:]
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you
[BOTH:]
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are my love
On life, be my life
Just slip me on
I'll be your blanket
Wherever, whatever
I'll be your coat
[ANGEL:]
You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle
[COLLINS:]
No, you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat
[BOTH:]
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are my love
On life, all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
[COLLINS:]
So, with a thousand sweet kisses
[ANGEL (overlapping):]
If you're cold and you're lonely
[COLLINS:]
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
[ANGEL (overlapping):]
You've got one nickel only
[COLLINS:]
I'll cover you
[ANGEL:]
With a thousand sweet kisses
[COLLINS (overlapping):]
When you're worn out and tired
[ANGEL:]
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
[COLLINS (overlapping):]
When your heart has expired
[ANGEL:]
I'll cover you
[BOTH:]
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
