under the covers

Lyrics

spanish boys'll greet you, with that old obscene refrain, the sadness of a thousand, waiting window panes, gypsy boys'll beat you, at your own familiar game, while the whore on the corner, drags that same old ball and chain, they make better lovers, so i've been told, under the covers, that's where you discover if your man is whole, they don't come easy, but they're worth the time, and if you please me, maybe i'll let you be mine, latin boys are easy, they'll touch you with their eyes, handle you the way they need, without disguise, gypsy boys'll fool you, into global compromise, while occasional candy, keeps your belly satisfied, they make better lovers, so i've been told, under the covers, that's where you discover if your man is whole, they don't come easy, but they're worth the time, and if you please me, maybe i'll let you be mine, they say they only hurt you, because they're hurting themselves, and they don't mean to dry up, all your wishing wells, they say you should be truthful, but you know sometimes they lie, and though it isn't meant to, it still tears me up inside, they make better lovers, so i've been told, under the covers, that's where you discover if your man is whole, they don't come easy, but they're worth the time, and if you please me, maybe i'll let you be mine
