Lover Undercover
Melody Gardot Lyrics
I don't need anything more than I got
I'll make it simple when others may not
Whenever you need some company
Some love of a different kind
Come to your lover, undercover
And let me ease your mind
Whenever your heart beats heavy
And worry has got you down
And I will turn your mood around
Why you wanna leave when it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms, until the break of day
Undercover
Why you wanna leave when it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms, until the break of day, so
Whenever you need a soft touch
Know my demands are small
Make me a lover, undercover
Or don't ever love me at all

Born on the 2nd February 1985 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gardot took up piano and played as a youngster on the nightclub scene of Philadelphia, influenced by jazz, folk, rock, and pop musics. At the age of nineteen she was a fashion student at the Community College of Philadelphia. While cycling in Philadelphia in November 2003 she was hit by a car whose driver had ignored a red traffic light. In the accident she suffered serious head and spinal injuries, and her pelvis was broken in two places. Because of these severe injuries she was confined to her hospital bed for a year. Her musical beginning was prompted by a tending physician who was concerned with her cognitive impairment as a result of head injury sustained in the accident. He believed that music would help her brain injury improve, as it has been known to show remarkable results in improving people's cognitive ability after such trauma.
Following her doctor's suggestion, Gardot made recordings bedside, while still unable to walk, and eventually released the works as an EP: Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions (2005). Gardot's desire to be well, combined with a bit of luck, brought her to the attention of a local radio DJ at the AAA station WXPN (known for launching the careers of artists such as Amos Lee and Norah Jones). Her cognitive powers slowly but surely became pronounced, leading to the independent recording and release of her debut CD, Worrisome Heart, which was reissued in 2007 by Verve records.
Gardot is hypersensitive to light and noise, so wears dark glasses; she also uses a cane to walk. Onstage she requires a special seating unit, and wears a Transcutaneous Electro-Nerve Stimulator, a TENS device, to assist in alleviating her neuralgic muscle pain. Though touring is difficult, she has been performing in major cities on the East Coast of the U.S. to support her recordings. In 2009, working with producer Larry Klein and arranger Vince Mendoza - both known for their work with Joni Mitchell - Gardot followed up her Verve debut with My One and Only Thrill.
In 2012, she released the album The Absence.

I don't need anything more than I got
I'll make it simple when others may not
Whenever you need some company
Some love of a different kind
Come to your lover, undercover
And let me ease your mind
Whenever your heart beats heavy
And worry has got you down
Come to your lover, undercover
And I will turn your mood around
Why you wanna leave when it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms, until the break of day
Undercover
Why you wanna leave when it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms, until the break of day
So...
Whenever you need a soft touch
Know my demands are small
Make me a lover, undercover
Or don't ever love me at all

This is the type of music you imagine yourself listening to while sitting by a fire with a blanket and glass of whiskey.

When I first heard Melody Gardot it was singing this on my car radio. I had to pull into the nearest car park until it finished. Beautiful voice and this is a great song. Recommend If The Stars Were Mine too.

I was at work and had to stop as it took over my spirit. ☆♪♫•☆•*¨*•.இ💜இ,•*¨*•☆.｡.♪♫¸

The first time I heard this song, when she hits that last note "at all", I noticed my face full of tears.

I'm borrowing from someone else, when he noticed there were a bunch of "thumbs down" on a Duane Allman/Eric Clapton thing...but there are 29 people in the world who gave this song a thumbs down...that means there's at least 29 mfers in this world.

2am in the morning, at the bar, when that person, the one that stops you in your tracks, walks in. Thanks Melody :)
