Lover, Lover, Lover Songtext / Lyric

I asked my father

I said, "Father, change my name"

The one I'm using now, it's covered up

With fear and filth and cowardice and shame



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me



He said, "I locked you in this body

I meant it as a kind of trial

You can use it for a weapon

Or to make a woman smile"



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me






"Then let me start again," I cried

Oh, please let me start again

I want a face that's fair this time

I want a spirit that is calm



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me



"I never turned aside," I said

Oh, I, I never ever walked away

It was you who built the temple

It was you who covered up my face



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me



You may come to me in happiness

Or you may come to me in grief

You may come to me in your deepest faith

Or you may come in disbelief



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me, oh

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me



And may the spirit of this song

May it rise up, pure and free

May it be a shield for all of you

A shield against the enemy



Ah, but, lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me



Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me, oh

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover

Lover, lover, lover, come back to me
