Next Lover

Who are you dreaming of now Is she flesh real Or carved in memory Who are you dreaming of now Is she flesh real Or bloodless fantasy From a film heroine There goes innocence fading away Here comes bitterness after you pay For believing in stories man-made Yes, we all want to be your next lover But we scared so we're running you down Yes, we all want to be your next lover But your beauty's too far above ground From a film heroine We will laugh at the worst of your jokes Steal a kiss if we can, buy you flowers and gifts Every move is a plan, you can measure this man By the depths of his lies, you can measure this man Yes we all want to be your next lover Yes we all want to be your next lover We are driven by things you can't feel Are we stealing or are we the steal So we lie like a priest To slide under and into inside Love is cruel but love seldom kind Yes we all want to be your next lover Yes we all want to be your next lover I can lie like the best of them Wait with the patience of man Seem so understanding While I'm making my plans I'm so full of desire, I've forgotten your name I'm so full of desire, I could burst into flames I'm so full of desire I can't hope to control This desire that's closer to pain River runs where all rivers go This desire will not be contained Yes we all want to be your next lover Yes we all want to be your next lover Lover Lover I love her Who are you dreaming of now Is she flesh real Or carved in memory
