I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
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
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
'Cos 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 know
it wasn't love
You don't even care
about what I'm saying
You don't even think
what you're doing
All you see is what
want it to
But in there there's
just no room for me
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
about what I'm saying
You don't even think
what you're doing
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 know
it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you
never cared
Now that I know
it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
