I Don't Want a Lover

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

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

You can't 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

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

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

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 prayer

I know you never cared, now that I now it wasn't love

You don't even care 'bout what I'm sayin'

You don't even think what you're doin'

All you see is what you want it to be

But in there, there's just no room for me, yeah

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

You don't even care 'bout what I'm sayin'

You don't even think what you're doin'

All you see is what you want it to be

There's just no room in there for me

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

I've had time to recover, now that I now it wasn't love

Now that I know, now that I know-know

(I don't want a lover, I just need a friend)

It wasn't love, no, it wasn't love

(I know you never cared, now that I now it wasn't love)

Now that I know, yeah, now that I know, yeah, I know it wasn't love

(I don't want a lover, I just need a friend)

No, it wasn't me

(I've had time to recover, now that I know it wasn't love)

Now that I know, now that I...
