One Part Be My Lover Lyrics
The song One Part Be My Lover is performed by Bonnie Raitt in the album named Luck of the Draw in the year 1991 .
Send One Part Be My Lover Ringtone to your Cell
When he looks in her eyes, he sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been livin' a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pa*s him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find where she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered, it really don't matter
Her heart's like a wave and he's the tide
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later, she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over, like fire and ice
One is color, one is gray
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
So if you know how, why don't you say 'em a prayer?
They're gonna need all the help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget
Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry their hearts like a newborn child
'Cause it's only the moment that lasts
They're not forever, just day to day
One part be my lover, one part go away
One part go away
Oh be my lover
