Lover Undercover
Gardot Melody Lyrics

Roller coaster, you're my lover undercover
Comparing the ups and downs of a roller coaster to the feelings and secrecy of having a clandestine lover.

Aah, you're my lover undercover
Expressing the thrill and excitement of having a secret lover.

Up and down the roller coaster
Emphasizing the feeling of experiencing intense emotions like those of a roller coaster ride.

On the roller coaster
Repetition of the feeling of being on this emotional ride.

You're my secret lover
Addressing her lover directly and acknowledging the secrecy of their relationship.

Always undercover
Affirming her commitment to keeping their romance hidden from others.

No one can know about this
Stressing the importance of keeping their relationship a secret to avoid the judgment of others.

Every time is rush time
Describing the feeling of being caught up in the excitement and thrill of their taboo romance.

Keep the light down, hush time
Suggesting the need to be discreet and quiet when together to avoid being discovered.

We're on a roller coaster
Reiterating the metaphor of the roller coaster ride to describe their relationship.

That takes us up and down
Elaborating on the idea that their relationship is marked by emotional ups and downs.

Yeah, I'm having so much good times
Admitting that despite the risks and stresses of their relationship, she's enjoying herself immensely.

With my lover undercover
Reminding the listener of the nature of their relationship and how it is different from the usual romantic affairs.

All my friends would freak out
Recognizing how her friends would react negatively to her relationship with her secret lover.

If they knew we made out
Acknowledging that she and her lover are not just keeping their romance hidden but also indulging in intimacy.

When the cat is gone
Referring to the idiom when the cat's away, the mice will play.

We're dancing on the table
Describing how the two of them are highly adventurous and engage in risky behavior.

About all night long
Reemphasizing the idea that they are willing to defy social norms and engage in activities for a longer duration.

You're my lover undercover
Acknowledging the presence of her secret lover even in their absence.

Yeah
An interjection expressing excitement or affirmation.

Roller coaster
A repetition of the central metaphor of the song.

That takes us up and down
Repeating that the emotional ride of having a secret lover is similar to an actual roller coaster ride.

You're my secret lover, undercover
Reiterating the theme of having a clandestine romantic partner.

Yes, you are
Asserting her appreciation for her lover's role in her life.

I'm here, you're here, we're here
Acknowledging their physical presence and togetherness whenever they can manage it.

Always there together
Affirming their connection despite the challenges that come with having a covert relationship.

Ooh, yeah
An exclamation of enjoyment or pleasure.

Oh, my lover undercover, oh
Confirming the existence and centrality of the secret lover in the singer's life.
