Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover - 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 page
I had a dream I was your hero

Damn! I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you till the daylight comes
make sure you were 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

(oh)
(Open up, coming inside, gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry)

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
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'll go away

Damn! I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you till the daylight comes
make sure you were 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! 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
Let me in
Mmm-hmm, forever and ever and ever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door, I'm sure
Don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
mm-hmm, 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 vision 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 were 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
