Cowards

[Intro: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
Hi
Hey
Hi
Okay

[Verse 1: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
I guess you're okay
You go through my head now and then (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)
We watch what we say
We play hard to get, we pretend (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)
I don't know what's happened to me
But it won't disappear
I keep changing, saying things
I think you want to hear

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

[Verse 2: Raleigh Ritchie & Etta Bond]
I bite and you scratch
We tense and relax, perfect match (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)
We both self destruct
We fight and we fu- (Hey) we make love (Hi, Okay)

[Pre-Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

[Bridge: Raleigh Ritchie]
We don't have to be the model couple
We could just be muddled up, I won't give it up
White flag on the nightstand
Right girl for the wrong man
Maybe we were made to
Dance around each other, babe
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just scared

[Chorus: Raleigh Ritchie]
Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say
