Hey lover
I'm so lonely.
You ain't touched me for days.
Hey lover,
I'm so weary.
You won't be happy no matter what I say
'cuz I brought you kisses;
all of my finest,
all the best that I had to give
but you threw them a side
‘cuz you wanted better
and it makes me wonder if I’ve got what you want me to give.
Hey mother
I need you to tell me whatever should I do
to keep my lover
here beside me, oh.
I need you to guide me
Oh, what should I do
'cuz I've begged him
got on my knees
made me feel like
some kind of fool
but I’ll do
whatever he wants me
whatever he needs me to do.
Hey father
Don’t go crazy
‘cuz I’m not the baby
you think I am.
Put your gun down,
‘cuz you don’t need it.
You got to believe me
if you think that you can.
No, he don’t mean to
take me for granted,
he just needs to understand.
Maybe he can find another lady,
but I’ll be damned if I can find myself another man.
Hey lover
So tired
‘cuz I’ve been workin’ to please you.
Hey lover
What’s your goddamn problem
that keeps you up cryin’ this whole night through?
Is the life that
I try to give you
is it less than you could give yourself.
Do I, do I mean less than your last lover?
Well maybe you should just go back to them.
No lover
No lover
I didn’t mean it, no
Oh oh ohhh
