The Cog Is Dead – Loverboy lyrics

Album: Steam Powered Stories

Oh Loverboy,
That woman's heart is not a toy
Don't play with her affections
Or falsify her joy
Just settle down
You better stop running around
Or soon you're gonna wind up
Down six feet underground

Loverboy,
I know your girl is pretty coy
She don't deserve this treatment
From such a callow boy
But she'll catch on
You're gonna miss her when she's gone
You think you're pretty clever
But she'll be out by dawn

(She’s so pure and)
Shows such deep affection
(All you do is)
Try to please yourself
(If you fail to)
Go the right direction
I may have to
Beat you down myself!

Loverboy,
Your actions make me so annoyed
You better stop at once
Before her spirits are destroyed

So cut it out
'Cause this is not what love's about
Well, you'll regret your actions
I know without a doubt!

[funky instrumental]

Loverboy!
What happened to your prior joy?
Your lady learned the truth
And now she moved to Illinois?

You'll take no wife
Now say hello to pain and srife
And welcome a disease
That you'll be carrying for life

Oh, Loverboy!
(Loverboy!)
Yeah, Loverboy!
(Loverboy!)
You've finally been discovered, boy!
Congratulations, Loverboy!

Here, Loverboy!
(Loverboy!)
Oh, Loverboy!
(Loverboy!)
Your wandering days are over boy
Loverboy, that's right!
