Why do I feel like I'm losing you? Did it ever become what I've always wanted it to You tell me I'm the lucky one How can you say that When it breaks my heart to see another woman with you Oh, lover of mine Oh, lover of mine When it hurts so bad I want to hold you in my arms Make me feel like you want to be A lover of mine After we've said all there is to say Am I still in your heart Or am I just in your way My desire for you is running wild Jealousy, dangerous time When I see you looking at another woman that way Oh, lover of mine Oh, oh lover of mine When it hurts so bad I want to hold you in my arms Make me feel like you want to be A lover of mine Please set me free Give me a reason I'm trying to keep it alive There is no need For us to be lonely Give me some kind of hope I'm walking a fine line Oh, lover of mine Oh, lover of mine When it hurts so bad I want to hold you in my arms Make me feel like you want to be A lover of mine Make me feel like you want to be a lover of mine Make me feel like you want to be a lover of mine
