Shelter Me Lyrics

Suzanne Rhatigan: Shelter me

You say how can I love when you're not worth loving
I say how can I give when I cannot be forgiven
is there no end to this
You say every time you look at me it reminds you
I say why can't you just put the past behind you
and lets get on with it
Now don't misunderstand me darling
cos I'm not trying to be cruel
it's just that I'm missing you

I don't need a lover who wants to fight
I need someone to hold me right through the night
I don't want a man who just competes
so come on darling Shelter me

You say the time we're wasting in discussion
we could be spending making love
but you don't want to know
now I just can't abide a lying man
says he wants me then changes his mind again
that's no way to go
Now I won't be fooled baby
and I don't mean to sound naïve
I just need some room to breathe

I don't need a lover who wants to fight
I need someone to hold me right through the night
I don't want a man who just competes
so come on darling Shelter me
I don't need a lover who wants to fight
I need someone to hold me right through the night
I'm gonna find a man to fill my needs
so come on darling Shelter me
Let me fall down safe into your arms
let me find a place to keep me warm
come on darling you don't have to worry
cos we're not in a hurry

Now don't misunderstand me darling
cos I'm not trying to be cruel
it's just that I'm missing you

I don't need a lover who wants to fight ...
