Cowards

[Intro: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]

Hi

Hey

Hi

Okay

[Verse 1: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]

I guess you're okay

You go through my head now and then (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

We watch what we say

We play hard to get, we pretend (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

I don't know what's happened to me

But it won't disappear

I keep changing, saying things

I think you want to hear

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]

I'm struggling to hold onto

Something close to you

And I'm coming up short

I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we're cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I'll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I'm afraid to say

[Verse 2: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]

I bite and you scratch

We tense and relax, perfect match (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

We both self destruct

We fight and we fu- (Hey) we make love (Hi, Okay)

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]

I'm struggling to hold onto

Something close to you

And I'm coming up short

I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we're cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I'll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I'm afraid to say

[Bridge: Raleigh Ritchie]

We don't have to be the model couple

We could just be muddled up, I won't give it up

White flag on the nightstand

Right girl for the wrong man

Maybe we were made to

Dance around each other, babe

I don't know, I don't care

I'm just scared

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we're cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I'll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I'm afraid to say
