Oh, I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
Oh, I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
Even when it cuts so deep - it's true I still want you.
But the harder I try - the more I seem to lose.
Cause I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
I've been tryin to recover - now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story, when it's me who's in the wrong.
'Cause you can't - have it all, cause I'm the one who's strong.
I've already been burnt before - once but never a-gain.
I know the time will come, yeah - that's when you'll need me then.
Cause I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
I've been tryin to recover - now that I know it wasn't love
Oh, I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
And I know you never cared - now that I know it wasn't love.
Cause you don't even care what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doin'
All you see is what you want it to be - but that is just no good for me-yeah!
Oh, I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
I've been tryin' to recover - now that I know that it wasn't love.
Cause you don't even care with what I'm saying
Cause you don't even think what you're doin'
All you see is what you want it to be - and there's no room left for me.
Oh I don't want a lover - I just need a friend.
I know you never cared - now that I know it wasn't love.
And now that I know - yeah - now that I know - yeah know that it wasn't love
- no-no-no-ever-the-love.
