Damn 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 'til the daylight comes
 Make sure you are smilin' 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, 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
 I 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'll go away
 Damn, I wish I was your lover
 I'll rock you 'til the daylight comes
 Make sure you are smilin' 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 fits
 I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
 Damn, I wish I was your lover, yeah
 ♪
 If I was your girl believe me
 I'd turn on the Rolling 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 'til the daylight comes
 Make sure you are smilin' 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 fits
 I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
 Damn, I wish I was your lover
 I wanna 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 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 schoolboy, 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
