Who are you dreaming of now 
Is she flesh real 
Or carved in memory 

Who are you dreaming of now 
Is she flesh real 
Or bloodless fantasy 
From a film heroine 

There goes innocence fading away 
Here comes bitterness after you pay 
For believing in stories man-made 

Yes, we all want to be your next lover 
But we scared so we're running you down 
Yes, we all want to be your next lover 
But your beauty's too far above ground 
From a film heroine 

We will laugh at the worst of your jokes 
Steal a kiss if we can, buy you flowers and gifts 
Every move is a plan, you can measure this man 
By the depths of his lies, you can measure this man 

Yes we all want to be your next lover 
Yes we all want to be your next lover 

We are driven by things you can't feel 
Are we stealing or are we the steal 
So we lie like a priest 
To slide under and into inside 
Love is cruel but love seldom kind 

Yes we all want to be your next lover 
Yes we all want to be your next lover 

I can lie like the best of them 
Wait with the patience of man 
Seem so understanding 
While I'm making my plans 
I'm so full of desire, I've forgotten your name 
I'm so full of desire, I could burst into flames 
I'm so full of desire I can't hope to control 
This desire that's closer to pain 
River runs where all rivers go 
This desire will not be contained 

Yes we all want to be your next lover 
Yes we all want to be your next lover 
Lover 
Lover 
I love her 

Who are you dreaming of now 
Is she flesh real 
Or carved in memory
