Oh My Lover
PJ Harvey · Peel Sessions 1991-2004 [2006]
Don't you know it's alright ?
You can love her
You can love me at the same time
Much to discover
I know you don't have the time but
Oh my lover
Don't you know it's alright ?
Oh my sweet thing
Oh my honey thighs
Give me your troubles
I'll keep them with mine
Take at your leisure
Take whatever you can find but
Oh my sweet thing
Don't you know it's alright ?
It's alright
It's alright
There's no time
So it's alrigh-igh-ight
What's that color
Forming around your eyes
Once my lover
Tell me that it's alright
Just another
Before you go...go away
Oh my lover
Why don't you just say my name ?
And it's alright
Say it's alright
There's no time
Oh My Lover
