Lover
You sort of remind me of a guy I met at the club,
He was sweet and wouldn't leave without buying me a drink;
The wind blew and my hair rustled as we walked through the November weather,
And the next morning he left without saying goodbye.
I feel sort of guilty sometimes, if I think about it too long,
And I often wonder if I'd be better off alone,
But I always end up back at the bar and back to my apartment,
Whether I'm sipping coffee or laying in bed after he's left.
But I don't have to feel guilty about being with you;
I don't have to worry about being lonely,
Or being caught up with the wrong guy late at night,
Now that I have you.
As long as I'm with you, and you're with me
I don't have to go around worrying anymore.
