Cover me, wrap your arms around me, cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come

Ah I'm looking for a lover who will come on
in and cover me
Yeah, I'm looking for a lover who will come
on in and cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come
on in and cover me
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
