(Break it to me) Don't dress it up but don't beat around the bush And don't cover it up but don't push it underground And don't keep it inside and don't edit and redact And no dumbing it down I know how to mend I can rise high above the ashes I'll

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

If I send you roses for no reason at all If, out of the blue, I stop and give you a call Once in a while, it's breakfast in bed And then pull the covers back up over our heads If I call in sick just to stay home with you I want you to know why I do what

I will try, try, try not to bring it all home I'll make you stronger, stronger You don't even want this You don't even need this You don't have to cover up your tears at all 'Cause I know it's you saving me I will fight, fight, fight for what we had

We are undercover passion on the run Chasing love up against the sun We are strangers by day, lovers by night Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right Call up, ring once, hang up the phone To let me know you made it home Don't want nothing to be wrong

'Til we ain't strangers anymore It would be so easy We're not strangers anymore It might be hard to be lovers But it's harder to be friends Baby pull down the covers It's time you let me in Maybe light a couple candles I'll just go ahead and lock the door

You make it easy Lovin' up on you Make it easy With every little thing you do You're my sunshine in the darkest days My better half, my saving grace You make me who I wanna be Stealin' kisses undercover babe I see forever when I see your face

We don't need rehab What do you see, when you look at me? Don't cover my scars, let them bleed Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be? Well then, I'm so, I'm so happy We don't need rehab, mmm mmm I pay them girls just to get love I pay them to lie to

Be my, be my, be my If you know how to be my lover Maybe you can be my baby Hold me close under the covers Kiss me boy and drive me crazy Be my, be my baby Baby, and drive me crazy I'll give you all of my trust If you don't mess this up
