  • I know you're disappointed
    In the way I handled things
    You're thinking I misread the times
    And acted cowardly
    And since what I do affects us both
    And you feel that I let you down

    [Chorus]
    You're paying a price when there is no price to pay
    Lovers trust, no money down
    You're paying a price when there is no price to pay
    Lovers trust, no money down

    (Hey, lover!)
    (Hey, lover!)
    (Lover)

    They say there's someone for everyone
    And for everyone a someone
    And some tattoo roses across their chests
    With a heart that says: "Rollo"
    And some work without a public relations man
    And do their best work, baby, out of sight

    [Chorus]

    (Hey, lover!)
    (Hey, lover!)
    (Lover)

    Now I have known a hero or two
    And they all learn to swim through mud
    And they all got boots caked with dirty soles
    That they get from squashing bugs
    So when push comes to shove, get the Harley revved up
    The moon can eclipse even the sun

    [Chorus]

    Lovers trust, no money down (Hey, lover!)
    Yes, lovers trust, no money down (Hey, lover!)
    Lovers trust, no money down (Hey, hey, lover!)
    Lovers trust, no money down (Hey, hey, lover!)
    (Hey, hey, lover!)
    (Hey, hey, lover!) Writer/s: LOU REED
