Love A Lover


Words and Music by Doug Osborne


I can only love a lover

not a liar or a loser, a cheater or a cruiser

I can only love a lover


You’re a painter ‘cause you have to show the world that you’re able

to offer something better than legs like Betty Grable

to you blue is pulling teeth, and red is cleaned up after

you’re yellow when it comes to crying tears or shouting laughter


I can only love a lover…


I walk because I have to get from one place to another

and is Miles Davis still a good friend of your older brother?

Do you say that to impress me, or to make you more attractive?

try to change the time we spent by making envy retroactive


I can only love a lover…
