As Lovers Go Lyrics

She said I've gotta be honest
You're wasting your time if you're fishing round here
And I said you must be mistaken
I'm not fooling this feeling is real
She said you gotta be crazy
What do you take me for some kind of easy mark
You've got wits, you've got looks
You've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong

All wrong
All wrong
But you got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful
I'll be cavalier I'll be yours my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you'll just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor-made, what's the sense in waiting

And I said I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life
For so long I thought I was asylum bound
But just seeing you makes me think twice
And being with you here makes me sane
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side
You've got wits you've got looks
You've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight

Tonight
Tonight
But you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful
I'll be cavalier I'll be yours my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you'll just let me through
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor-made, what's the sense in waiting
This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor-made, what's the sense in waiting
