Melissa Etheridge, Sophie B. Hawkins - I Wish I Was Your Lover lyrics

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 smiling 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

This monkey can't stand to see
You black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
Cause then you'll go away

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make surе you are smiling and warm
I am everything tonight I'll bе 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 fit's
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 Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Oh let me in oh i could do it forever and
Ever and ever and ever

Hey give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
Oh let me in oh let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love
To her with visions clear
Walked for 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 smiling and warm
I am everything tonight I'll be your mother
I'll 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 fit's
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

Open up I want to come inside
I want to fill you up i want to make you cry
Damn I wish I was your lover
Damn I wish I was your lover
Damn I wish I was your lover
Damn I wish I was your lover
