Bonnie Raitt - One Part Be My Lover Lyrics
When he looks in her eyesHe sees only the truthTelling him hes been living a lieOver and over like a line in a songAbout all the love he let pass him by.To her he might be the man of her dreamsTo find where shes been hiding insideBroken or battered, it really dont matterHer hearts like a wave and hes the tide.Theyre not forever, theyre just for todayOne part be my lover, one part go away.Hes like a boxer who had to retireAfter winning but killing a manHes got all of the moves and none of the courageAfraid to throw a punch that might landNot too much later she cant meet his glanceYou see her start pulling awayOver and over like fire and iceOne is color, one is grey.Theyre not forever, theyre just for todayOne part be my lover, one part go away.So if you know howWhy dont you say em a prayerTheyre gonna need all the help they can getThey remember too much about what went wrongIt might be they should learn to forget.Forget themselves in each otherAnd leave what belongs in the pastCarry their hearts like a newborn childCause its only the moment that lasts.Theyre not forever, theyre just for todayOne part be my lover, one part go away.
