Pet Shop Boys - I Want A Lover Lyrics






At this time of night, when the crowds have passed
We're the last to leave, we need some company
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why
You know the reason that we need this company
I've been sitting here, looking out for you
Someone just like me, who's maybe had a drink or two

I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight

Outside the dawn is breaking, looks like it's started raining
We'll catch a cab, and soon be driving home
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why
You'll know the reason just as soon as we get home
You've been sitting there, wondering what to do
I've been standing here, waiting to make the first move
Ahaha

I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (Tonight)
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight

This anticipation is a stimulation
No need for conversation as we're driving home
Put your arms around me, it doesn't mean you love me
Just that you want me and you need my company
Driving through the night, it's so exciting
Turning off the light without another thought tonight
Ahaha

I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (I want a lover tonight)
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight

(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover (I want your love tonight)
Oooh

    HOLA A TODOS Y LES MANDO UN CORDIAL SALUDO, SIN DUDA ES EL INIGUALABLE ESTILO DE LOS PET SHOP BOYS MUY BUENA MUSICA. DEL FAMOSO LP BLANCO FELICIDADES A ESTE DUETO DE DJ LEOS.

  44. r.... ....

    @NastyChrisVideo it did back then. it had to. so that we, gay or straight, can have on line debates about how music doesn't have to have sexuality anymore. thanks for the acceptance.

  45. r.... ....

    @BernardProfitendieu Chris has never explained his sexuality, he hasn't come out as straight or gay. Not unless you know him personally and he told you so. If so, please give me your number so we can goss.

  46. A.... ....

    I think they're botth amazing. Talented and handsome. I love PSB

  47. A.... R....

    I do love pet shop boys.I do need them.Always on my mind.

  48. m.... ....

    How naive, back then I never even thought of their sexuality...just great music with such appeal...bought everything they did and still play it to death these days..cheers PSB

  49. S.... C....

    You dont have to be gay to love PSB geesh they arent doing porn!!

  50. G.... ....

    @BernardProfitendieu LOL he didn't even have to do so at all... Neil is a top:))

  51. G.... ....

    I <3 Pet Shop Boys....
    @imre404 No they are fabulously thin and still are now...

  52. m.... ....

    from Denmark just love this song.I want a lover

  53. m.... ....

    Neil and Chris could be aliens from Saturn for all I care.

  54. G.... C....

    RIGHT ON, RODDY! Who GIVES A FUCK if they're gay. They are awesome musicians and songwriters. I love their music. And the other guy (not Neil) is a good looking dude, so lucky for gay guys I guess. Them being gay is a total non-issue and cool, whatever. I have friends who happen to be gay and they are totally no different then me. Get fucking over it.

  55. a.... p....

    being gay or straight or whatever isn't an issue by bringing it up...it's just a fact.

    Don't make it an issue by asking why it is such an issue. It's not. That bell has been rung so many times it should be cracked.

    It's like you're making an issue because somebody says they like the color blue?

    "why is it an issue that they like the color blue. I like the color orange and have for years but I don't think there's anything wrong with them liking the color blue"

    get it?

    ok.

  56. a.... p....

    of course they're gay. I could tell that when West End Girls first came out. Maybe GayDar is for real. I'm a gay guy.

  57. l.... a....

    A nadie le puede importar si una persona es gay o no, lo importante es lo que hacen y en este caso PET SHOP BOYS hacen una música maravillosa que tiene la particularidad de tener mucho feeling y te llega al corazón. Thanks for your music. Luis from Argentina

    l.... a....

    Totalmente de acuerdo

  58. A.... ....

    Same here straight male, Loved the pet shop boys since the mid 80's. Who cares what sexuality anyone is, there music is great, and they have alot more talent than the likes of todays artists.

    The Longevity of them shows what talent they had to be still going after 25 years and winning the life time acheivement award at the Brits.

  59. N.... ....

    THE MUSIC HAS NO SEXUALITY

  60. d.... ....

    @roddy76to86 here here!! love their music, always have. theyre both gorgeous; especially chris. had a crush on him when i was a teenager ;D

  61. b.... ....

    I was 15 when the PSB's hit the music scene.I was devastated when i found out they were gay.To get over it i went out and got bummed chronically by 90 guys in a public toilet, for almost a hour.The reason was i wanted too be gay like Neil and Chris.The only fly in the ointment was, it didn't change me.But since 1987 i now walk with bandy legs and have a perforated rectum.You live and learn i suppose lol.

  62. H.... ....

    I'm 28, and female. I was 5 years old when I became obsessed with the Pet Shop Boys! It's not all about who is gay or straight, male or female, it's their fantastic music, that inspires people, gets into the basic human feeling and actually allows you to really let yourself go and ENJOY music. May their music live on forever as far as I'm concerned!

    H.... ....

    Compliments for the great message. I also love their songs, but with a huge preference for the ones they made in the 80's and 90's

  63. P.... W....

    @CHERADICTO well said fellow! Straight guys like me also like PSB. There is too much stereo typing when it comes to pop and rock culture. Believe it or not , there are quite a few lyrics in most PSB tracks that i have been inspired with and have helped me through my GCSE English Language course 5 years ago.

  64. P.... W....

    @Sorasen Well said fellow! You don`t have to be gay to like PSB.

  65. Y.... ....

    @CHERADICTO If you read the Wiki on these dudes, you will find that it reads, "Many of their songs are written from an ambiguous view point, that can be taken any way the listener perceives it and this goes some way to explain why a large segment of their die-hard fans are heterosexual." I think what you mean(t) to say is that you can relate to PSB's themes, motifs, style and underlying messages dealing with orientation, life in general and so forth.

  66. f.... ....

    @CHERADICTO,what are you trying to say?cher, madonna,middler are gays.you forget to say they are jews as well.
    you have to learn that music has no sexual orientation.with all the problems i had with my missis,i wish i was gay.lol.
    don't you love a song from a singer who is not gay???grow up boy.madonna is not a reference,she was a prostitute and she still is.she is an unfit mother and give a bad name to the jews.

  67. j.... b....

    @latexliebling Same here. Pet Shop Boys are amazing, i seen them in Glasgow 2 weeks ago and they put on an excellent show, Dont know how my attitude towards life would have been without them, But i know one thing. It would not be as good as it is. Their music is just so intelligent, That most ordinary people miss the point!

  68. A.... F....

    i have been a fan since they started way back in the early 80's, yeah im an old fart now, but there musicbrings back many happy memories of a better time, THE 80'S RAWKED,,,,,, im so happy i was part of it,

  69. T.... M....

    I have been a Pet Shop Boys fan since I was 14, amazing band thank you for posting.

    Most grateful Squab1972

  70. s.... l....

    hi the best from psb ...this is a classic ''well one off them ...still got this on tape ...tonight is forever is got too be better than this ... but this is still good .but the album please is bliss.

  71. p.... ....

  72. M.... ....

    I've been a big PSB fan since high school, I'm 34 now and have never heard this song. I love it, thanks for posting!

  73. E.... D....

    it doesn't matter if they are gay or not...why don't we appreciate their talent...???

  74. P.... B....

    I'm an 18 year old straight male, and I absolutely love Pet Shop Boys, thank you very much.

  75. C.... B....

    neil tennant is gay and nobody knows about chris lowe. dont make assumptions about people. after all you are listening to the pet shop boys and some people would call YOU gay for that

  76. N.... ....

    Yes...he play the trombone...every PSB song with the trombone or the trumpet is by Chris

  77. r.... ....

    absolutely. doesn't matter that Neil is gay and Chris never said either way. they are icons of the club scene that everyone can resonate with, be they gay, straight or even into animals or plants.

  78. w.... ....

    who gives a fuck about the gay stuff, this song was pure street in it's time and the first album is quality end of case.

  79. c.... t....

    Who dosen't? XD to bad I weren't even born in the 80's O__o Hahaha Of course I'm just jokeing I'm only 13 -__-
