Lyrics
You've Got a 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.
The clubs are all closed and there's no where to go when the sun wont show for hours
The streets have all emptied and lovers lay sleeping and dreaming of each other
Chorus
You've got a lover but it's not me.
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
There's Acres and Acres of heartbroken lovers I know where not the first ones
But sometimes it seems that it's just like a dream that you try hard to remember
Chorus
You've got a lover but it's not me.
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
Lead
The clubs are all closing you know I was hoping that time would hold me over
I pull up my collar walk into the night I'll be looking for an answer
Chorus
You've got a lover but it's not me.
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
