Richard Ashcroft - Why Do Lovers? lyrics

Come now, baby

Stay in bed, don't think that it's lazy

Get ourselves another God

Don't let them tell us there isn't one (isn't one)

Stay, sweet honey

Life's so fashion, know it ain't funny

Get ourselves another God

Don't let them tell us there isn't one (isn't one)

Like we are just skin

Can you behold?

No beauty within

No beauty inside your body

You don't love anybody

Why do lovers

Choose others?

We circle, entwine one another

In that mask that we wear with each other

Oh my God, how I looked in that mirror

I looked in a hollow picture

It was something I could frame

That's right, sweetheart

Life is tough now, life can be hard

Don't blame me for these pressures in life

Don't blame me for this sacrifice, sacrifice

Okay, sweetheart

Take your time, I know lovers they part

Time slows when you're in love

But time moves so fast when it's getting on, getting on

'Cause we are just skin

Can you behold?

I'm no beauty within

No beauty inside my body

I don't love anybody

Why do lovers

Choose others

To mirror their pain, yeah?

Slow down, stranger

You know that you're in danger

These demons I got, they're a manger

Praying for you to lay

Oh...
