Dear Lover Lyrics - Singles - The New Amsterdams

i'm only skin and bones 

here's my heart to a tone 

seems such a reasonable sin 

mortal man under bones and skin 

dear lover, don't bother me 

don't say what you want to say 

there's no reason for words to escape 

i'll wait for you if you call 

pity me and pity us all 

dear lover, don't bother me 

dear lover, don't bother me 

i can say this with certainty 

hard living's the only way i can get by 

you're the liar at the door (come in) 

really, what'd you come here for? 

tell you once and i'll tell you true 

i got nothing left for you 

dear lover, don't bother me 

dear lover, don't bother me 

i can say this with certainty 

hard living's the only way i can get by 

all the rules you put on yourself 

send me straight to somebody else 

all the rules that you push onto me 

tend to weaken fidelity 

dear lover, don't bother me 

dear lover, don't bother me 

i can say this with certainty
