Lovers Rock Lyrics
Are you sick of me?
Would you like to be?
I'm tryin' ta tell you something
Something that I already said
You like the pretty boy
With the pretty voice
Who was tryin' ta sell you something
Something that you already have
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you to stay
But just for the night
And when she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
While the others talk
We were listening to lovers rock
In her bedroom, in her bedroom
And if you start to kiss
And the record skips
Flip it over and sit a little closer
But if you're too drunk to drive
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And when she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
Would you like to be?
I'm tryin' ta tell you something
Something that I already said
You like the pretty boy
With the pretty voice
Who was tryin' ta sell you something
Something that you already have
And the music is right
She might let you to stay
But just for the night
And when she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
We were listening to lovers rock
In her bedroom, in her bedroom
And if you start to kiss
And the record skips
Flip it over and sit a little closer
And the music is right
She might let you stay
But just for the night
And when she grabs for your hand
And drags you along
She might want a kiss
Before the end of the song
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing
And leave her with nothing

This song always makes me feel as though I am floating. When I go for drives with my girl bsf, I find myself melting into the seat with a strong urge to learn over and kiss her. Oddly, I also feel that she would be quite fine with that; there's something there that's more than friendship but I'll let her make that call. I'm sure you all have your own fantasies provoked by this song. Please share them...

After reading Willaim115, it got me thinking about my feelings about this song rather than analyzing the lyrics.
The song has always felt like my pining and unrequited feelings towards this particular person. We've been friends for a couple of years now and at the beginning we were very close. We'd always be found sitting together or reading the same books. They were my go-to person within our group of friends. But at the beginning, I never noticed how close we really were... and I just...took it all for granted.
This is when I started to question if we were really 'just friends' or something else and if I wanted that. At the time, I didn't know what I wanted and followed through with whatever we were doing. It never got very far, the whole thing was innocent puppy love. I was confused if they really liked me.
Eventually, they grew distant from me and abruptly cut off contact with me. Complete radio silence. That was at the point in time I realized that I really liked this person. They were sweet, and kind and shared my humor and interests. But I guess you never can fully appreciate something until it's gone. With their absence, I'm left feeling unexplainably sad. We were never 'together' despite our friend's teasing and rumors yet I feel more hollow than when I've lost any old friends. At this point, I just want them to speak to me again, even if it isn't going to be like it was before, even if we are just friends.
I miss her, and Lovers Rock despite meaning something entirely different, feels deeply like my feelings towards her. My unsuccessful attempt to act upon the fleeting moments of a spark we may have both shared at a point in time.
