Goodnight Lovers Lyrics
(Shh)
Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me that cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even though I'm sure it's not the best for me
When you're born a lover
You are born to suffer
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
I, I can see the danger signs
They only help to underline your beauty
I'm not looking for an easy ride
True happiness cannot be tried so easily
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
You can take your time
I'll be waitin' in line
You don't even have to give me the time of day
When you're born a lover
You're born to suffer
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
Like all soul sisters and soul brothers
(Shh)

my sub-woofer is about to explode
This is the most beautiful song ever!!!
I think this song is about getting into a relationship and realizing that you won't always get your way. As it says, lovers are "born to suffer", meaning they'll make sacrifices for the one they love in order to make them happy.
I think this song is about someone's relationship with a prostitute. They are always happy to come over for another session, but like all lovers (especially in this line of work), they are "born to suffer" and must make the most of what they're given.
