Lover Lyrics

And now I′m happy to say I've had many requests to sing again
A wonderful Rodgers and Hart number I sang here a few weeks ago
This is the way I like to treat "Lover"

Lover, when you′re near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear
You breathe a flame
Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss?

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart

Lover, when you′re near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear
You breathe a flame
Lover, it′s immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss?

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart

Lover, when you′re near me
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear
You breathe, you breathe, you breathe a flame
Lover, lover, lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral
Want to kiss?

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you I try
But if you didn′t continue
I would die

Lover, lover, lover, lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, please surrender
To my heart

Surrender, surrender
Lover
