Richard Rodgers
Lover
Lover, when you're near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear
You breathe a flame

Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart

Lover, when you're near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear
You breathe a flame

Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss
I say the devil is in you
And to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart

Lover, when you're near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly, softly in my ear
You breathe, you breathe, you breathe a flame

Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart
Surrender
Surrender
Lover
