Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover: Newly Pregnant Sophie B. Hawkins Performs Her Classic Love Song

Hi there, I m Sophie B. Hawkins,

and I m gonna play for you

one of my favorite songs

that never gets old.

(gentle instrumental music)

(upbeat instrumental music)

♫ That old dog has chained you up alright

♫ Give you everything you need

♫ To live inside a twisted cage

♫ Sleep beside an empty rage

♫ I had a dream I was your hero

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ I d rock you til the daylight comes

♫ Made sure you are smiling and warm

♫ I am everything

♫ Tonight I ll be your mother

♫ I ll do such things to ease your pain

♫ Free your mind, and you won t feel ashamed

(upbeat instrumental music)

♫ This monkey can t stand to see you black and blue

♫ I give you something sweet each time

♫ You come inside my jungle book

♫ Or is it just too good

♫ Don t say you ll stay cause then you go away

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ I d rock you til the daylight comes

♫ Made sure you are smiling and warm

♫ I am everything

♫ Tonight I ll be your mother

♫ I ll do such things to ease your pain

♫ Free your mind, and you won t feel ashamed

♫ Shucks, for me there is no other

♫ You re the only shoe that fits

♫ I can t imagine I ll grow out of it

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ Come on, baby

♫ If I was your girl, believe me

♫ I d turn on the Rolling Stones

♫ We could groove along and feel much better

♫ Come on and let me in, oh

♫ On, on, on, an on

♫ Give me an hour to kiss you

♫ Walk through Heaven s door I m sure

♫ We don t need no doctor to feel much better

♫ Come on, baby, let me in, oh yeah

♫ On, on, on, and on

(upbeat instrumental music)

♫ I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind

♫ And I lay by the ocean making love

♫ To her with visions clear

♫ Walked for days with no one near

♫ And I return as chained and bound to you

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ I d rock you til the daylight comes

♫ Made sure you are smiling and warm

♫ I am everything

♫ Tonight I ll be your mother

♫ I ll do such things to ease your pain

♫ Free your mind, and you won t feel ashamed

♫ Shucks, for me there is no other

♫ You re the only shoe that fits

♫ I can t imagine

♫ I can t imagine

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ Oh yeah, baby

♫ I m like the shoe that fits again

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ You re the only shoe that fits

♫ I can t imagine

♫ I can t imagine

♫ I can t imagine

♫ I can t imagine

♫ I can t

(murmuring)

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ Standing on the street corner

♫ Waiting for my life to change

♫ Damn, I wish I was your lover

♫ Feeling like a school boy

♫ Too shy, too young

♫ Oh, you better lock your doors tonight, baby

♫ You better lock your windows too

♫ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
