Just Like A Lover Lyrics - P.j. Pacifico

Just Like A Lover 

(Garrison Starr/ P.J. Pacifico)

i went down to the corner for ten dollar smokes 

i met an old woman who saw life as a joke 

she asked for a buck and a bottle of rum 

i had just begun 

tomorrow's the first of a hundred at sea 

you never can tell what the water will bring 

but that doesn't matter to a sailor like me 

who was born to weather the storm 

CHORUS 

she's just like a lover 

she rocks me to sleep 

she calms and she moves me 

her love is so deep 

oh but can her waves crash down 

she's just like a lover 

la de da da de da 

just like a lover 

la de da da de da 

the boys said today was a hell of a day 

for sailing away to the edge of the bay 

those boys always seem to have something to say 

those boys are always talking 

so we set out at dusk under bright yellow stars 

i swear i could see all the way out to mars 

somehow she warmed me up in her arms 

as if her arms could hold me 

CHORUS 

she comes in with the wind and goes out with the tide 

she leaves me so low after getting me high 

it'll never be fair and i'll never know why 

but she is always constant 

as the wind's dying down and it's time to head in 

i can already feel the longing begin 

but we knew where we started is where we would end 

she gives love when she wants it 

CHORUS 

alone at the bar with my last cigarette 

trying hard to remember and not to forget 

but sometimes i guess you just get what you get
