Song language: English
Under the Covers |
| 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 |
| 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 |
