COVER ME

Live 28 Jun 1988 version

Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide

Cover me, come cover me
I need your love, I need your love to cover me
Ohh, ohh
One, two, three!

The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher
Cover me, come on baby cover me
'Cause I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me

Promise me baby you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us
Cover me, come on and cover me
Yes I'm looking for a lover to will come on in and cover me

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more

Now the whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't want to see any more
So cover me, come on baby cover me now
I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
???!

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more

This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't want to see any more
So cover me, come on baby, come on baby sit down
I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
I'm saying now I'm just looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
I'm saying now I'm just looking for a lover to come on in and cover me

Come on and cover me, baby
It's just a kiss away
Won't you wrap your little arms around me now
Ah ah oh yeah
Ah ah oh lord
Ah ah oh baby
Ah ah oh lord
It's just a kiss away, you're just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away

Cover me
Ohh come cover me
I need you near, I need you near to cover me
Oh, ohh, ohh
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Ooh
Just a shot away
