Lyrics
Lover
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't know how I feel when the day comes
I don't think I wanna know
Not sure exactly who you'll be when I wake up
Will you love me tomorrow?
Whatever happened to the person that I used to know
And who are you know?
I'm unfamiliar with the stranger standing in front of me
I think I figured it out
Lover
You're playing dirty with me
Ooh lover
Make me believe
Because I wanna believe
More than anything
Ooh lover, you're playing dirty with me
You can spare me your lies, gimme the details
Don't mention her name
But have the decency to tell me where we lost cause
This illusion game
But you're carrying on with guilty pleasures
Was I not enough?
I'm not entirely sure if you're aware of
What you're giving up
Lover
You're playing dirty with me
Ooh lover
Make me believe
Because I wanna believe
More than anything
Ooh lover, you're playing dirty with me
What caused your eyes to wander?
I thought distance made the heart grow fonder
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
But now
Ooh lover
You're playing dirty with me
Ooh lover
Make me believe
Because I wanna believe
More than anything
Ah you're playing dirty with me
Ooh lover, you're playing dirty with me
