Lover's Rock
ɯ÷ìSade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are in the music
In the man's car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart completely
When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
When no one can hear me calling
I have you I can sing to
And in all this
And in all my life
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock
I am in the wilderness
You are in the music
In the man's car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart completely
And in all this
And in all my life
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock
When I need to be rescued you're there
When I need a place to swim to in a storm
I sing to you
And all my life
And in all my life
You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock

(Verse)
Are you sick of me?
Would you like to be?
I'm tryna tell you something
Something that I already said
You like a pretty boy
With a pretty voice
Who's tryna sell you something
Something that you already have
(Chorus)
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And if she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you with nothing
And leave you with nothing
(Verse)
While the others talk
We were listening to lovers rock
In her bedroom, in her bedroom
And if you start to kiss
And the record skips
Flip it over and sit a little closer
(Chorus)
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And if she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you with nothing
And leave you with nothing

“How many men have you kissed?”
“Very few.”
“You offered me a kiss, why?”
“Such a foolish reason i’m afraid, I just…wanted to kiss you..”
