Lyrics
Lover For a Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need a lover for a friend.
I need a lover for a friend.
If it doesn`t happen soon I just might come to a sticky end.
I need a heart to call my own.
I need someone who`s mine - and mine alone.
Someone who ain`t afraid to explore the twilight zone.
I tought I`d found the one,
She said she was my pal,
The next thing that I knew she had
Propelled me straight to hell.
I need a lover for a friend.
It might be unrealistic but still,I can pretend.
Let me pretend.
Do I - Do I have to tell you one more time?
Do I have to tell you one more time?
I tought I spelled it out for you - do I have to hang a sing?
(Situation`s Vacant!)
