Song lyrics I don't want a lover by Texas

i donīt want a lover
i just need a friend
i donīt want a lover
i just need a friend

you canīt just leave me
to face life on my own
i know you donīt love me no more
i knew this day it would come
even when it cuts so deep
itīs true i still want you
but the harder i try
the more i seem to lose

i donīt want a lover
i just need a friend
iīve had time to recover
now that i know it wasnīt love

itīs always a different story
when itīs me whoīs in the wrong
but you canīt have it all
cause iīm the one whoīs strong
iīve already been burnt before
once but never again
i know the time will come
thatīs when you need me then

i donīt want a lover
i just need a friend
iīve had time to recover
now that i know it wasnīt love

i donīt want a lover
i just need a prayer
i know you never cared
now that i know it wasnīt love

you donīt even care
about what iīm saying
you donīt even think
what youīre doing
all you see is what you want it to be
but in there thereīs just no room for me

i donīt want a lover
i just need a friend
iīve had time to recover
now that i know it wasnīt love

you donīt even care
about what iīm saying
you donīt even think
what youīre doing
all you see is what you want it to be
but in there thereīs just no room for me

i donīt want a lover
i just need a prayer
i know you never cared
now that i know it wasnīt love

i donīt want a lover
i just need a prayer

i know you never cared
now that i know it wasnīt love
