Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I asked my father
I said, Father, change my name
The one I'm using now is covered up
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame
[Verse 2]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Back to me, back to me
[Verse 3]
He said, I locked you in this body
I meant it as a kind of trial
You can use it as a weapon
Or to make some woman smile
[Verse 4]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
[Verse 5]
Then let me start again, I cried
Let me start again
I want a face that's fair, this time
I want a spirit that is calm
[Verse 6]
Like the spirit of this song
May it rise up pure and free
Let it be a shield for you
A shield against the enemy
[Verse 7]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
[Verse 8]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
[Verse 9]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
[Verse 10]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
[Verse 11]
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
Lover, come back to me
