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 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

'Bout 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 (now that I know)

I just need a prayer (now that I know that-)

I know you never cared (it wasn't love, no-oh)

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)

I've had time to recover (it wasn't love, no-oh)

Now that I know it wasn't love (it wasn't love)

I don't want a lover (now that I know)

I just need a friend (now that I know that-)
