Let's Be Lovers Tonight

I'm direct like a javelin
A wonder dog who won't give in
Perseverance is a gift of mine
Others use money and a bottle of cheap wine

I want to you to stay 'cause you want you
Won't stand in your way, won't haunt you
Why can't we take one risk
And have so much fun?

Thinkin' too much about it
Already talkin' yourself out of it
Repeating all the reasons
Why you think you should be leavin'

Can you politely excuse me?
Please don't try to confuse me
How about you show me
What you're tryin' so hard to hide?

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
Let's just close our eyes
And make love

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
And feel alive

This could be the start of everything
Or just a part of everything
You'll never know if we don't try
Don't say you've been hurt
I've used that lie

I prefer to tell the truth
'Cause I may not get the chance to tell you
If this doesn't work out
You'll be gone before the lights go on

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
Let's just close our eyes
And make love

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
Let's just close our eyes
And make love

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
And feel alive

I can see your eyes escapin' me
It's like somethin' inside's afraid of me
But don't be scared of choosin'
If we do this there's no losin'

I could tell the way you're breathin'
Yeah, your mind is set on leavin'
'Cause outside life is rain'
Don't say your mind is changin'

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
Just close your eyes
And let go

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
Let's just close our eyes
And make love

Let's be lovers tonight
Oh
And feel alive
