Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you, speak my name Softly, in my ear you, breathe a flame Lover, when we're dancing, keep on glancing, in my eyes Till loves own entrancing, music dies All of my future is in you Your every plan I design Promise you'll always continue To be mine Lover, please be tender, when you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender, to my heart (instrumental bridge) 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 you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender, to my heart
