A Song for the Lovers
Richard Ashcroft Lyrics
I spend the night
Yeah, looking for my inside in a hotel room
Waiting for you
We're gonna make it tonight
Yeah, something in the air tells me that time is right
So we've better get it on
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Don't want to wait
Lord, I've been waiting all my life but I'm too late again
I know but I was scared
Can't you see, oh, I'm moving like a train, into some foreign land
That you got on
A ticket for this ride, but I will
Ooh, this is a song for my lover, tonight
Today, play a song for my lover, tonight
One more for the lovers
Can't stop looking back, no no

I spend the night, yeah looking for my insides
In a hotel room waiting for you
We're gonna make it tonight, yeah, something in the air
Tells me the time is right, so we better get on
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Don't wanna wait, Lord, I've been waiting all my life
But I'm too late again, I know, but I was scared
Can't you see, oh, I'm moving like a train into some foreign land
I ain't got a ticket for this ride but I will
Oh, to a song for my lovers, tonight
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
(Can't stop looking back, oh no)
DJ, play a song for the lovers, tonight
(One more for the lovers)
Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight
(One more for the lovers, van't stop looking back)
Oh, no, oh, brother, won't you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this dreams gonna stop
But I tell you friend, I don't wanna get up
(Please, play a song for the lovers, tonight)
Oh, brother, won't you lend a hand
I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love
I don't know when this dreams gonna stop
But I tell you friend, I don't wanna get up...
