Lover Lyrics by Beth Ditto

Fake Sugar

2017

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
