lyrics

Better Lovers - Gwade
------------------------------
I don't know why
You came here tonight
But I'm happy and excited

When you drop by
The fire burns bright-
ly but I need you to ignite it

But I will not repent,
And there will be no lament
For a love that's surreptitious

And it's always been clear
That our love is sincere-
ly - Sinful and delicious

You don't have to leave
Right now
But you should

I'd love for us to stay
Right now
Underneath the covers

(There's) Nothing to achieve,
No vows
To do good

A little disarray
Somehow
Will make us better lovers

I don't know why
We get so uptight
(With the) Things we lack control of

Let's just deny
Our troubles tonight
That our normal lives are full of

The world will fly by
The stars will burn bright-
ly, and - we will just ignore it

I will supply
Your every delight
Before you ask me for it

You don't have to go
Right now
But you should

Time is spinning by
Somehow
The morning is approaching

Enjoy the status quo
For now.
It's understood

That when the sunlit sky
Avows
Reality encroaching

Let's stay right here
We'll just disappear
From it all
And ignore life's call-ing...

These idle hands
Make no plans
For beyond
After the dawn
Our secret bond
Remains right here


I don't know why
You're getting dressed now
The fun is only starting

Take off that tie
I'll come and endow (you with)
This passion we're imparting

Think of the fun
We'll have as we squeal (at the)
Trouble we could land in

Avoiding the sun and
Enjoying our feel-ings
(With) Unrestrained abandon

You don't have to leave
Right now
But you should

Or stay another day
There's so
Much left to discover

(There's) Nothing up my sleeve
Except nails
And wood

I'm hammering away
At how
To make us better lovers
To make us better lovers
To make us better lovers
