[Chorus]

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs?

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover?

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me

[Verse 1]

Fill a bowl with roses

When evening closes

In on my dreams

Come and cool my forehead

And put me in my bed

I feel feverish

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know it's not the truth

It's only me and only you

But it's an endless fall I'm falling

And I can only heed my calling

[Chorus]

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs?

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover?

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me

[Verse 2]

I could hear you coming

You were a hummingbird, hovering

I think you're so pretty

Not far from the city

In our Eden

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know it's not the truth

It's only me and only you

But it's an endless fall I'm falling

And I can only heed my calling

[Bridge]

You keep me hanging tight

Suspended like an epiphyte

And I won't let go

I know that I'm right

My love don't try to calm me down

Don't calm me down

Calm me down

I'll calm down

[Chorus] [x2]

Can I be your lover

In the Southern Suburbs?

I wanna run for cover

Under the canopy

Can I please come over

In my green Land Rover?

You're like a bossa nova

Playing in the heart of me
