Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
Oh, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true, I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
[Verse 4]
No, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
But I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
[Verse 5]
It's always a different story
Oh, when it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
'Cause I'm the one who's strong
[Verse 6]
I've already been burnt before
Once, but never again
I know the time will come, yeah
That's when you'll need me then
[Verse 7]
No, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
But I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
But I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
But I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
[Verse 8]
'Cause you don't even care 'bout what I'm sayin'
You don't even think 'bout what you're doin'
Oh, all you see is what you want it to be
But it ain't there
There's just no room for me, yeah
[Verse 9]
'Cause I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
Yeah, I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
[Verse 10]
'Cause you don't even care 'bout what I'm sayin'
You don't even think 'bout what you're doin'
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room left for me, yeah
[Verse 11]
No, I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
Now I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
Yeah, now that I know
Yeah, now that I know
Yeah, I know it wasn't love
Know it wasn't love
