Dear Lover - Matt Pryor

I’m only skin and bones

Pierce my heart to atone

Seems such a reasonable sin

Mortal man under bones and skin

Dear lover, don’t bother me

Dear lover, don’t bother me

I can say this with certainty

Hard living’s the only way I can get by

Don’t say what you want to say

There’s no reason for words to escape

I’ll wait for you if you call

Pity me, pity us all

Dear lover, don’t bother me

Dear lover, don’t bother me

I can say this with certainty

Hard living’s the only way I can get by

All the rules you put on yourself

Send me straight to somebody else

All the roles you push onto me

Tend to cause infidelity

All the rules you put on yourself

Send me straight to somebody else

All the roles you push onto me

Tend to cause infidelity

Dear lover, don’t bother me

I say this with certainty.
