Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover Lyrics - Singles - 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 will do such things to ease your pain 

Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed, oh, oh 

Open up on the inside, gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry 

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

Give you somethin' sweet each time 

You come inside my jungle book 

What 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 will 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 

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 

I am everything, tonight I'll be your mother 

I will 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 

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) 

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 

(Damn I wish I was your lover) 

Open up I wanna come inside, I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry 

(Damn I wish I was your lover) 

Gettin' on my camel and I'll ride it uptown, ooh 

(Damn I wish I was your lover) 

Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this
