Bruce Springsteen - My Lover Man lyrics

You treated me hard and made my heart ache
I know you're only human, and men
They make mistakes
Your life with her turned to black
And now you want our love back
Well come into my arms and fall, my lover man

Was it a gypsy's curse or a hex sign?
Or was it just that simple thing that
Led you from these arms of mine?
Oh yes, I've had the days
To grow used to your foolish ways
And what is it really, after all
My lover man?

I can see the change in your eyes
There's no need to apologize
We stood at the wishing well
Our dreams like coins into the water fell
The water so cold and black
There was no going back

I don't mean to cause you
Hurt or cause you pain
Life is short and love's a dirty game
Now there's no need for our game to end
Come close and we'll begin
To find our beautiful selves again
My lover man my lover man
