Janis Ian Under The Covers lyrics

Spanish boys`ll greet you
With that old obscene refrain
The sadness of a thousand
Waiting window panes
Gypsy boys`ll beat you
at your own familiar game
While the whore on the corner
Drags that same old ball and chain

They make better lovers
Or so I`ve been told
Under the covers
That`s where you discover
If your man is whole
They don`t come easy
But they`re worth the time
And if you please me
Maybe I`ll let you be mine

Latin boys are easy
They`ll touch you with their eyes
Handle you the way they need
Without disguise
Gypsy boys`ll fool you
Into global compromise
While occasional candy
Keeps your belly satisfied

[CHORUS]

They say they only hurt you
Because they`re hurting themselves
And they don`t mean to
Dry up all your wishing wells
They say you should be truthful
But you know sometimes they lie
And though it isn`t meant to
It still tears me up inside

[CHORUS
