You've Got a Lover - Ricky Skaggs Lyrics

You've Got a Lover

The clubs are all closed and there's no where to go
And the sun won't show for hours
The streets have all emptied and lovers lay sleeping
And dreaming of each other

You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
There's acres and acres of heartbroken lovers
I know we're not the first ones
But sometimes it seems that it's just like a dream
That you try hard to remember

You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can

The clubs are all closing you know
I was hoping that time would hold me over
I pull up my collar, walk into the night
I'll be looking for an answer

You've got a lover but it's not me
He can't love you like I can
There will be others yes I understand
Will they love me like you can
