The times are tough now, just getting tougher
this old world is rough, it's just getting rougher
cover me, come on baby, cover me
well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Promise me baby, you won't let them find us
hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us
cover me, shut the door and cover me
well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more

Whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't want to see any more
cover me, come on and cover me
I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
