I'm direct like a javelin
A wounded dog who won't give in
Perseverance is a gift of mine
Others use money and a bottle of cheap wine
I want you to stay 'cause you want to
Won't stand in your way, won't hold you
Why can't we take one risk
And have so much fun

Thinking too much about it
Already talking yourself out of it
Repeating all the reason
Why you think you should be leaving
Can you politely excuse me
Please don't try to confuse me
How about you show me
What you're trying so hard to hide

Let's be lovers tonight, oh
Let's just close your eyes and let go
Let's be lovers tonight, oh
And feel alive

This could be the start of everything
Or just a part of everything
You'll never know if we don't try
Don't say you've been hurt, I've used that line
I prefer to tell the truth
'Cause I may not get the chance to tell you
If this doesn't work out
You'll be gone before the lights go on

Let's be lovers tonight, oh
Let's just close your eyes and let go
Let's be lovers tonight, oh
And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight, oh
Let's just close your eyes and let go
Let's be lovers tonight, oh
And feel alive

I can see your eyes escaping me
It's like something inside's afraid of me
But don't be scared of choosing
If we do this there's no losing
I can tell the way you're breathing 
Yeah, your mind is set on leaving
'Cause outside life is raining
Don't say your mind is changing

Let's be lovers tonight, oh
Let's just close your eyes and let go
Let's be lovers tonight, oh
And feel alive

Let's be lovers tonight, oh
Let's just close your eyes and let go
Let's be lovers tonight, oh
And feel alive
