Testo Dear Lover

I'm only skin and bones
here's my heart to a tone
seems such a reasonable sin
mortal man under bones and skin

dear lover, don't bother me

don't say what you want to say there's no reason for words to escape
i'll wait for you if you call
pity me and pity us all

dear lover, don't bother me
dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
hard living's the only way i can get by

you're the liar at the door (come in)
really, what'd you come here for?
tell you once and i'll tell you true
i got nothing left for you

dear lover, don't bother me dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
hard living's the only way i can get by

all the rules you put on yourself
send me straight to somebody else
all the rules that you push onto me
tend to weaken fidelity

dear lover, don't bother me
dear lover, don't bother me
i can say this with certainty
