ub40 - cover up lyrics

[chorus:]
cover up
with loving protection
guard your love
in every direction
don't give up
for fear of rejection
stand your ground and voice an objection

[verse 1:]
run away my sister and brother
be afraid of love when the lover
tries to read the book by the cover
wrapped up in the arms of another

[chorus]

cover up prolonging the yearning
just ahead the fires are burning
swim for shore the tides are now turning
love the ones you love with your learning

[chorus]

look ahead the futures depending
on the brave to now start defending
tell the world the message you're sending
we don't need an unhappy ending

[chorus]

got to be safe if you want to be free
to sit in the shade of the family tree

[verse 1]

[chorus]

got to be safe if you want to be free
to sit in the shade of the family tree
