I’ll Cover You
[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]
So, with a thousand sweet kisses

[ANGEL (overlapping)]
If you're cold and you're lonely

[COLLINS]
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses

[ANGEL (overlapping)]
You've got one nickel only

[COLLINS]
I'll cover you
[ANGEL]
With a thousand sweet kisses

[COLLIN (overlapping)]
When you're worn out and tired

[ANGEL]
I'll cover you
With a thousand sweet kisses

[COLLINS (overlapping)]
When your heart has expired

[ANGEL]
I'll cover you

[BOTH]
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, lover
I'll cover you
