Born Lover Songtext

von Joel Grey

No mother's son could say i ever saw the day
I couldn't learn to play a wench
Of course as a man i have one big advantage
I happen to be born french
Some men just have it, i guess
That inbred finess
At birth we possess
A talent to persuade
A way you might say
Of getting our way
Lovers are born not made
I'd have to try very hard
To hoist a petard
At cards i'm a czar
Let's call a spade a spade
But i'm something else unlocking chastity belts
Lovers are born not made
And i'm a born lover
Born to love, i might add
Yes i'm a born lover
Ask any nursemaid i ever had
A tiger knows how to stalk
Before he walk
You don't teach a hawk
The secrets of his trade
I knew not to wink
Unless their booties were pink
Lovers are born not made
And i'm a born lover
Keep your own silver spoon
When you're a born lover
It's never too much
It's too much too soon
My reputation's well earned
Where maids are concerned
The first thing i learned
Was how to draw a shade
The first words i said
Were "charley wanna go bed!"
Lovers are born not made
It comes naturally!
Charles the terrific, capital t
...
Lovers are born
Lovers are born
Not made!
