One Part Be My Lover Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 When he looks in her eyes

2 he sees only the truth

3 Tellin' him he's been living a lie

4 Over and over like a line in a song

5 about all the love he let pass him by

6 To her he might be the man of her dreams

7 to find what she's been hiding inside

8 Broken or battered it really don't matter

9 Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide

10 They're not forever just for today

11 One part be my lover, one part go away

12 He's like a boxer who had to retire

13 after winning but killing a man

14 All of the moves and none of the courage

15 afraid to throw a punch that might land

16 Not too much later she can't meet his glance

17 You see her start pulling away

18 Over and over like fire and ice

19 one is colored, one is gray

20 They're not forever just for today

21 One part be my lover, one part go away

22 If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer

23 they're gonna need all they help they can get

24 they remember too much about what went wrong

25 it might be they should learn to forget

26 Forget themselves in each other

27 and leave what belongs in the past

28 carry thier hearts like a new born child

29 cause it's only the moment that lasts.

30 They're not forever, just day to day.

31 One part be my lover one part go away.

32 One part go away
