Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I just want a lover

Nothin' that is complicated

I don't want to know you

We don't have to talk about it

[Verse 2]

Let us both discover

There is nothin' better than just

Lyin' here together

Starrin' out the bathroom window

[Verse 3]

I just want a lover

Could you be the person for me?

Nothin' sentimental

I want you to satisfy me

[Verse 4]

I just want a lover

To take away the pain

I just want a lover

To fool around again

Friday seems so easy, Saturday is hard

I just want a lover

To ease my broken heart

Ease my broken heart

[Verse 5]

I just want a lover

Let me hear your body talkin'

Don't have to imagine

All the things we'd do together

[Verse 6]

Caught under the covers

Bodies heat direct feelin'

You don't want to know me

Starin' out the bedroom window

[Verse 7]

I just want a lover

(I desire you, you've to get to know)

(You don't have to lose, treat yourself)

I just want a lover

(Time to go, it's a beautiful back door)

(I don't wanna leave)

I just want a lover

(Oh, no, you got to play the levels, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 8]

(Hey)

(I don't wanna leave)

(It's time to play around)

(Hey, hey)

[Verse 9]

I just want a lover

To take away the pain

I just want a lover

To fool around again

Friday seems so easy, Saturday is hard

I just want a lover

To ease my broken heart

Ease my broken heart

[Verse 10]

I just want a lover

(I desire you, you've to get to know)

(You don't have to lose, treat yourself)

I just want a lover

(Time to go, it's a beautiful back door)

(I don't wanna leave)

I just want a lover

(Oh, no, you got to play the levels, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 11]

(I don't wanna leave)

(It's time to play around)

[Verse 12]

I just want a lover

Nothin' that is complicated

I don't want to know you

We don't have to talk about it

[Verse 13]

Let us both discover

There is nothin' better than just

Lyin' here together

Starrin' out the bathroom window
