If I Could - Lou Barlow

If I could be your lover, be your lover true

One day to be discovered lying next to you

But I know my lack of grace continues to turn you off

And this could be my fate here never to be touched

Wish I could be, if I could be

I feel it in the morning, nothing going on tonight

And I get the feeling that my love for you’s not right

And I can’t help thinking that you might not like my style

Watching television let me chew on you awhile

Then face down

So face down

Love me tonight

Love me tonight

But what if my fortune turns, will I turn away?

The battle of the heart we wage, the quiet game we play

What if it’s me unequal?

I’m the one who’s not

Excited forever with it in your touch

I’d miss you way too much

But you’d feel it in the morning, nothing going on tonight

And you’d get the feeling that your love for me’s not right

We’re always turning but never turn away

I’ll try to be patient tell me everything’s OK

Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Love me tonight

Hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm

Love me tonight
