Lover Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart First performance by: Jeanette MacDonald - 1932 Covered by multiple other artists
Lover, when I'm near you And I hear you, speak my name Softly, in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing Keep on glancing in my eyes Till loves own entrancing music dies
All of my future is in you You're every plan I design Promise you'll always continue To be mine
Lover, please be tender When you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender to my heart
Lover, it's immoral But why quarrel with our bliss When two lips of coral want to kiss
I say the devil is in you And to resist you, I try But if you didn't continue I would die
Lover, please be tender When you're tender, fears depart Lover, I surrender to my heart
