The fix is in, we should have known It was always there from the start Deep within, so slow and strong Working its way to the heart One day you notice a change And then nothing's the same I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this You crossed your mouth to keep mine shut My timing was never that good But I couldn't stand to see you mixed up With a faker who kept his cards hid I stayed in the game 'til the end Waiting for my big hand I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it
'Cause I know your deep dirty places of pain You know your secrets will always be safe I'll keep them with mine, we're two of a kind I'll be your lover now The penny drops, the bottle spins The stars all shift, the tables turn The arrow strikes, the die is cast The high shall be low and the first shall be last I stayed in the game 'til the end Waiting for my big hand I'll be your lover now You know your secrets will always be safe Because there's nothing more precious than shame I'll keep yours with mine, we're two of a kind I'll be your lover now
