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 seems 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 there 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 'bout 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 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 to recover Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover (now that I know) I just need a prayer (now that I know) I know you never cared (it wasn't love, no) Now that I know it wasn't love (it wasn't love) I don't want a lover (now that I know, yeah) I just need a friend (now that I know, yeah I know it wasn't love)
