Lyrics

Lover

I don't know how I'll feel when the day comes

I don't think I wanna know

Not sure exactly who you'll be when I wake up

Will you love me tomorrow?

Whatever happened to the person that I used to know

And who are you now?

I'm unfamiliar with the stranger standing in front of me

I think I figured it out

Lover

You're playing dirty with me

Ooh, lover

Make me believe

Because I wanna believe

More than anything

Ooh, lover, you're playing dirty with me

You can spare me your lies, spare me the details

Don't mention her name

But have the decency to tell me we're a lost cause

Is this a losing game?

But you're carrying on with guilty pleasures

Was I not enough?

I'm not entirely sure if you're aware of

What you're giving up

Lover

You're playing dirty with me

Ooh, lover

Make me believe

Because I wanna believe

More than anything

Ooh, lover, you're playing dirty with me

What caused your eyes to wander?

I thought distance made the heart grow fonder

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

But now

Ooh, lover

You're playing dirty with me

Ooh, lover

Make me believe

Because I wanna believe

More than anything

Ah, you're playing dirty with me

Ooh, lover, you're playing dirty with me
