Cover Up Lyrics - Live At Montreux 2002 - Ub40

Cover up 

With loving protection 

Guard your love 

In every direction 

[Chorus:] 

Don't give up 

For fear of rejection 

Stand your ground and voice an objection 

Run away my sister and brother 

Be afraid of love when the lover 

[Verse 1:] 

Tries to read the book by the cover 

Wrapped up in the arms of another 

[Chorus] 

Don't give up 

For fear of rejection 

Stand your ground and voice an objection 

Cover up prolonging the yearning 

Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2 

Swim for shore the tides are now turning 

Love the ones you love with your learning 

[Chorus] 

Don't give up 

For fear of rejection 

Stand your ground and voice an objection 

Look ahead the futures depending 

On the brave to now start defending VERSE 3 

Tell the world the message you're sending 

We don't need an unhappy ending 

[Chorus] 

Don't give up 

For fear of rejection 

Stand your ground and voice an objection 

Got to be safe if you want to be free BRIDGE 

To sit in the shade of the family tree 

[Verse 1:] 

Tries to read the book by the cover 

Wrapped up in the arms of another 

[Chorus] 

Don't give up 

For fear of rejection 

Stand your ground and voice an objection 

Got to be safe if you want to be free 

To sit in the shade of the family tree
