Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher
Cover me
Come on, baby, cover me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Verse 2]
Promise me, baby, you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us
Cover me
Shut the door and cover me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Verse 3]
Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more
[PreChorus]
This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't want to see any more
Cover me
Come on and cover me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Verse 4]
Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more
[PreChorus]
This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't want to see any more
Cover me
Wrap your arms around me, cover me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
[Outro]
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
