Intro: That old dog has chained you up, all right 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'd rock you 'til the daylight comes Made 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 Oh... Open up coming inside Gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue I 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 go away Damn, I wish I was your lover I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes Made 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 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 Don't need no doctor to feel much better Let me in, oh (I wanna live) Forever and ever and ever and ever I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind And 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'd rock you 'til the daylight comes Made 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 fits I can't imagine I'll grow out of it Damn, I wish I was your lover I wanna open up, I'm gonna come inside I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry Damn, I wish I was your lover Gettin' on a subway, and I'm comin' uptown Damn, I wish I was your lover Standing on the street corner, waiting for my life to change Damn, I wish I was your lover And I'm feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young, oh Damn, I wish I was your lover Tryna open up, I wanna come inside Gunna fill you up, I'm gunna make you cry Damn, I wish I was your lover I'm gettin' on my camel, and I'll ride it uptown, oo A?C# Damn, I wish I was your lover Standing on a street corner, waiting for my life to change
