The New Amsterdams - Dear Lover lyrics

rate me

i'm only skin and bones

here's my heart to a tone

seems such a reasonable sin

mortal man under bones and skin

dear lover, don't bother me

don't say what you want to say

there's no reason for words to escape

i'll wait for you if you call

pity me and pity us all

dear lover, don't bother me

dear lover, don't bother me

i can say this with certainty

hard living's the only way i can get by

you're the liar at the door (come in)

really, what'd you come here for?

tell you once and i'll tell you true

i got nothing left for you

dear lover, don't bother me

dear lover, don't bother me

i can say this with certainty

hard living's the only way i can get by

all the rules you put on yourself

send me straight to somebody else

all the rules that you push onto me

tend to weaken fidelity

dear lover, don't bother me

dear lover, don't bother me

i can say this with certainty
