Original Television Cast of Rent Live
I’ll Cover You
[COLLINS, spoken]
So, are we a thing?

[ANGEL, spoken]
Darling, we’re everything!

[ANGEL]
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover
I'll cover you

[COLLINS]
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you

[BOTH]
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are my love
On life, be my life
Just slip me on
I'll be your blanket
Wherever, whatever
I'll be your coat

[ANGEL]
You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle

[COLLINS]
No, you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat

[BOTH]
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease, you are my love
On life, all my life

I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is

[COLLINS, ANGEL]
So, with a thousand sweet kisses
If you're cold and you're lonely
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
You've got one nickel only
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
When you're worn out and tired
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses
When your heart has expired
I'll cover you
[BOTH]
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
