Oh, lover, lover, why so blue? Just because I don't need you You've never been one to hide You asked me if I ever cried I'll never leave you, so you'd say The challenge set, the game in play But I told my lies and thought my bliss I need you, until you quit Oh, benjo, benjo play me whole I've lost my love and I'm all alone I don't deserve it but I pray You'll lead me to the light someday But it's who I am and so I'm torn My heart is black, my hair is gold I'm asking all the gods above, oh why kill the things I love? Oh mother, mother bring me home My mind is like a shattered bone I don't deserve it but I pray You'll let me see the light someday Oh mother, mother bring me home My mind is like a shattered bone I don't deserve it but I pray You'll let me see the light someday Oh lover, lover, why so blue? Just because I don't need you
