'Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover'
by Sophie B. Hawkins

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

Chorus
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
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

Chorus

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

If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever 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 the mountainside with peace of mind
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

Chorus

I decided to make this song my Valentine's Day post because it is very sweet in some ways.

As I understand it, the song is about wanting someone really badly. Some people think its about wanting an ex back really badly and I can certainly see how that could be the case.

At any rate, I have loved this song since I first heard it in the early 90's and my love for it is just as strong today as it was then.

So let me just end by saying that I love you, 'Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover' by Sophie B. Hawkins! lol. (I don't care if that's lame. No one reads this anyways :()
