Why Do Lovers? - Richard Ashcroft

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 fast, ya 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

Know beauty within

Know beauty inside your body

You don’t love any body

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, sweet-heart

Life’s tough now, life can be hard

Don’t blame me for these pressures in life

Don’t blame me for this sacrifice (sacrifice)

Ok, sweet-heart

Take your time, I know lovers they part

Time slows when you’re in love

And time moves so fast when it’s gettin' on (gettin' on)

Cos we are just skin

Can you behold

I know beauty within

Know beauty inside my body

I don’t love any body

Why do lovers

Choose others

To mirror their pain, yeah

Slow down stranger

You know that you’re in danger

These demons I’ve got they are major, yeah

Ready for you to lay it onnnnnnnnn
