I'll Cover You Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

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 

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 

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 

You'll be my king and I'll be your castle 

No, you'll be my queen and I'll be your moat 

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, oh my life 

I've longed to discover 

Something as true as this is 

So the thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you 

(If you're cold and you're lonely) 

With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you 

(You've got one nickel only) 

With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you 

(When you're worn out and tired) 

With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you 

(When your heart has expired) 

Oh lover, I'll cover you, yeah, yeah 

Oh lover, I'll cover you
