  • Look I'm standing naked before you
    Don't you want more than my sex
    I can scream as loud as your last one
    But I can't claim innocence

    Oh God could it be the weather
    Oh God why am I here
    If love isn't forever
    And its not the weather
    Hand me my leather

    I could just pretend that you love me
    The night would lose all sense of fear
    But why do I need you to love me
    When you can't hold what I hold dear

    Oh God could it be the weather
    Oh God why am I here
    If love isn't forever
    And its not the weather
    Hand me my leather

    I almost ran over an angel
    He had a nice big fat cigar
    "In a sense" he said "you're alone here
    So if you jump you best jump far"

    Oh God could it be the weather
    Oh God why am I here
    If love isn't forever
    And its not the weather
    Oh God could it be the weather
    Oh God its all very clear
    If love isn't forever
    And its not the weather
    Hand me my leather Writer/s: TORI ELLEN AMOS
