I'll Cover You

Live in my house. I'll be your shelter. Just pay me back with one thousand kisses. Be my lover - I'll cover you.
Open your door. I'll be your tenant. Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet. But sweet kisses I've got to spare. I'll be there - I'll cover you.

I think they meant it, when they said you can't buy love. Now I know you can rent it, a new lease you are, my love, on life - be my life.

Just slip me on. I'll be your tenant.
Wherever - whatever - I'll be your coat.
You'll be my king, and I'll be your castle.
No you'll be my queen, and I'll be your moat.

I think they meant it, when they said you can't buy love. Now I know you can rent it, a new lease you are, my love, on life.

All my life I've longed to discover something as true as this is.
So with a thousand sweet kisses,
I'll cover you if you're cold and you're lonely.
With a thousandsweet kisses,
I'll cover you (if) you've got one nickel only.
With a thousand sweet kisses,
I'll cover you when you're wornout and tired.
With a thousand sweet kisses,
I'll cover you when your heart has expired.

Oh, lover, I'll cover you. Oh, lover, I'll cover you.
