Lyrics
A Good Lover
Smiles like a friend with a stranger's eyes
His distant look shows more than he knows
The gentlest touch finds weak spots in his shield
Works in bare hands, just the way he does
Always likes to print in capitals
He says that details are just for the weak
Oh oh oh ...
He'd make a good lover
Oh oh oh ...
The louder his wail, the more he's wronged
From kitty cat to lion, lightening speed
He'll break the skin but he'd never leave a scar
Oh oh oh ...
He'd make a good lover
Oh oh oh ...
Makes good promises, he wants to keep them
Sometimes life just has another plan
Desperate to make love but he breaks it instead
Oh oh oh ...
He'd make a good lover
Oh oh oh ...
