I Don't Want A Lover - Texas

Intro
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.

1. Strophe
You can just leave me to face life on my own.
I know you don't love me no more, I knew this day it would come.
Even when it cuts so deep it's true I still want you.
But the harder I try the more I seem to lose.

1. Refrain
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I've had time to recover, now that I know it wasn't love.

2. Strophe
It's always a different story when it's me who's in the wrong.
But you can't have it all 'cause I'm the one who's strong.
I've already been burnt before, once but never again.
I know the time will come, that's when you'll need me then.

2. Refrain
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I've had time to recover, now that I know it wasn't love.
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I know you never cared, now that I know it wasn't love.

Bridge 1:
You don't even care about what I'm saying,
you don't even think what you're doing.
All you see is what you want it to be,
but in there there's just no room for me.

Instrumental

Bridge 2:

you don't even think what you're doing.

I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I've had time to recover, now that I know it wasn't love.
I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I know you never cared, now that I know it wasn't love.

I don't want a lover, I just need a friend.
I've had time to recover, now that I know it wasn't love...
