I met her in the museum of paleontology
And I make no bones about it
I said if you wish to study dinosaurs,

I know a specimen whose interest is undoubted

Trapped in a body that is failing me

Well, please allow me to be succinct
I wanna love you whilst we both still have flesh upon our bones
Before we both become extinct


That's what I told her: I wanna be your lover
And then I told her twice: I wanna be your lover


Well, he says that he loves you like a sister
Well I guess, I guess that's relative

He says that he wants to make love to you
Well instead of "to", shouldn't that be "with"?


Oh, I told you once: I wanna be your lover
And now I've told you twice: I wanna be your lover


And so I come to you filled with guilt and self-loathing
And I am praying that you could make me good
And so I fall upon your neck just like a vampire

Yeah, like a vampire who faints at the sight of blood

And I told you once: I wanna be your lover

I'm gonna say it again
And then I told you twice: I wanna be your lover


Well this is my CV and I've got no one else to blame
So I will state, state my case, I will state it again


Come and help yourself to leftovers
Got a little surplus love and affection
And getting cuddly, so won't you cuddle me?

I could be your teddy bear... oh yeah

I know I ain't no eligible bachelor

This is no mouthwatering proposition
Make no mistake, you're in big trouble, little lady
If we start a-hugging and a-kissing

And a-kissing, are you listening?

'Cause I told you once

And then I told you twice
And now I told you three times
And at the risk of repeating myself

I'm gonna say it again

Yeah

I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be your lover
