Young Lover Songtext
von St. Vincent

How long has this been going on?
I found you in the bathtub with your clothing on
Oh, so what? Your mother did a number
So, I get gloves of rubber to clean up the spill, yeah

No, I, young lover, I′m begging you please to wake up
Young lover, I wish that I was your drug
No, I, young lover, I miss the taste of your tongue
No, I, young lover, I wish love was enough, enough

You say, you got no room to talk, babe
You're boozin′ on a midday and I don't see no cake
Oh, but these pills, I can't even pronounce them
Your thousand watts of light dim then you′re gone again, yeah


No, I, young lover, I′m begging you please to wake up
Young lover, I wish that I was your drug
No, I, young lover, I miss the taste of your tongue
No, I, young lover, I wish love was enough, enough, enough

We were in Paris, the Eiffel was shining
All that I wanted was lying on tiling
I heard the robins and thought they were sirens
Wake up, young lover, I thought you were dying

No, I, young lover
No, I, young lover
No, I

No, I, young lover
No, I, young lover
No, I

No, I, young lover
No, I, young lover
No, I, young lover
No, I, young lover
