Janis Ian - Under The Covers lyrics
[Janis Ian - Under The Covers lyrics]
Spanish boys'll greet you with
That old obscene refrain
The sadness of a thousand
Waiting window panes
Gypsy boys'll beat you at
Your own familiar game
While the whore on the corner drags
That same old ball and chain
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
Latin boys are easy
They'll touch you with their eyes
Handle you the way they need without disguise
Gypsy boys'll fool you into global compromise
While occasional candy keeps
Your belly satisfied
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
They say, "They only hurt you
Because they're hurting themselves
And they don't mean to dry
Up all your wishing wells"
They say, "You should be truthful
But you know sometimes they lie"
And though it isn't meant to
It still tears me up inside
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
So I've been told under the covers
That's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
So I've been told under the covers
That's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
That old obscene refrain
The sadness of a thousand
Waiting window panes
Gypsy boys'll beat you at
Your own familiar game
While the whore on the corner drags
That same old ball and chain
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
Latin boys are easy
They'll touch you with their eyes
Handle you the way they need without disguise
Gypsy boys'll fool you into global compromise
While occasional candy keeps
Your belly satisfied
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
They say, "They only hurt you
Because they're hurting themselves
And they don't mean to dry
Up all your wishing wells"
They say, "You should be truthful
But you know sometimes they lie"
And though it isn't meant to
It still tears me up inside
They make better lovers or so I've been told
Under the covers that's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
But they're worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I'll let you be mine
So I've been told under the covers
That's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
So I've been told under the covers
That's where you discover
If your man is whole they don't come easy
