Loverman

I can take those riff raff

And get them out of your hair

Clean up your doorstep and polish your chair

I could move your house slightly to the left

Squeeze you till youre breathless

Then breathe you full of breath

I can give the zulus a point to their spears

I can give the lechers a reason for their leers

I can give the angels a need to be alive

I can get the bees a buzzin in their hive

Chorus

I can get you flyin baby higher than a kite

You know I can oh baby I can

I would stop my cryin if youd only let me

Be your loverman

The people that you hang with

Well you know theyre not my style

Id like to sort of kill them at least for a short while

They treat me like a lackey they call me a yob

They made me build their outhouse

Though they know that aint my job

I know I seem edgy but thats because Im sharp

I know I could pluck you like the strings of a harp

I know I seem jumpy but its not amphetamine

Its just that certain parts of me are gettin out of line

Chorus

I could press your buttons I can fly you like a kite

You know I can, oh baby I can

I could be a glutton for you

If you let me be your loverman

I know you don t think much of me

But these jerks youre attracted to

Ill make em look like monkeys hangin up in the zoo

Cos I could charm the birds right out of the sky

At least if they were flightless and couldnt really fly

Did I tell you I was lucky did I tell you I was charmed

Did I tell you youd look perfect hangin on my arm

Did I tell you I had money in a safe deposit

Did I tell you last night I found elvis hangin up in my closet

Well maybe Im borin you it looks like youre bored

Well it hurts to be crucified but its worse to be ignored
