One Part Be My Lover Lyrics - Luck Of The Draw - Bonnie Raitt

When he looks in her eyes 

he sees only the truth 

Tellin' him he's been living a lie 

Over and over like a line in a song 

about all the love he let pass him by 

To her he might be the man of her dreams 

to find what she's been hiding inside 

Broken or battered it really don't matter 

Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide

They're not forever just for today 

One part be my lover, one part go away 

He's like a boxer who had to retire 

after winning but killing a man 

All of the moves and none of the courage 

afraid to throw a punch that might land 

Not too much later she can't meet his glance 

You see her start pulling away 

Over and over like fire and ice 

one is colored, one is gray 

They're not forever just for today 

One part be my lover, one part go away

If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer 

they're gonna need all they help they can get 

they remember too much about what went wrong 

it might be they should learn to forget 

Forget themselves in each other 

and leave what belongs in the past 

carry thier hearts like a new born child 

cause it's only the moment that lasts. 

They're not forever, just day to day. 

One part be my lover one part go away. 

One part go away
