Yo La Tengo - I Wanna Be Your Lover lyrics

Well, the rainman comes with his magic wand
But the judge says, "Mona can't have no bond"
The walls collide, Mona cries
The rainman leaves in the Wolfman's disguise
Ohhhhh yeah

I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours

Well, the undertaker in his midnight suit
Turns to the mad man, "Ain't you cute"
Well, the mad man he jumps up on the shelf
And he says, "You ain't so bad yourself"
Ohhhhh yeah

I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours

Well, Jumpin' Judy can't get no higher
She got bullets in her eyes
And then they fire
Rasputin, he's so dignified
He touched the back of her head and he died
Ohh ohh
Ohh

Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours

Well, Phaedra with her looking glass
When she lays upon the grass
She gets all messed up, she faints
That's 'cause she's so obvious and you ain't
Ohhhhhhh yeah

I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
