Let's Be Lovers Tonight

I'm direct like a javelin

A wounded dog who won't give in

Perseverance is a gift of mine

Others use money and a bottle of cheap wine

I want you to stay 'cause you want to

Won't stand in your way, won't haunt you

Why can't we take one risk and have so much fun?

Thinkin' too much about it

Already talkin' yourself out of it

Repeating all the reasons

Why you think you should be leaving

Can you politely excuse me?

Please don't try to confuse me

How about you show me what you're trying so hard to hide

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

Let's just close our eyes and let go

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

And feel alive

This could be the start of everything

Or just a part of everything

You'll never know if we don't try

Don't say you've been hurt, I've used that line

I prefer to tell the truth

'Cause I may not get the chance to tell you

If this doesn't work out, you'll be gone before the lights go on

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

Let's just close our eyes and let go

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

Let's just close our eyes and let go

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

And feel alive

I can see your eyes escaping me

It's like something inside's afraid of me

But don't be scared of choosin'

If we do this, there's no losin'

I can tell the way you're breathin', yeah

Your mind is set on leavin'

'Cause outside, life is drainin'

Don't say your mind is changin'

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

Just close our eyes, let go

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

Let's just close our eyes and let go

Let's be lovers tonight, oh-oh

And feel alive
