I don't want to be your mother

There's two sides to each other

You gotta meet me halfway

Won't you let me be your lover?

Don't be no lone survivor

I'm not going anywhere

I'm just trying to tell you how i feel

This one-sided love affair

How do i get the man in you to see

I'm so much more than the mother in me

I don't want to be your savior

Forgive your bad behavior

You gotta meet me halfway

'cause there's so much to discover

Don't be no lone survivor

I won't leave you in the cold

I'll be standing right beside you

When you're feeling all alone

The only way to set yourself free

Is letting go of the savior in me

Baby, don't you shut me out

Baby, don't shut down on me

I'm not going anywhere

I'm not going anywhere

I only want to bring you back to me

Baby, please don't shut me down

Time won't bring me back to you

I'd be lying to myself

I'd be lying to myself

And that's the only thing i cannot do

I want to be your sweetheart

I want to be your lady

Oh, i want to get swept away

Let me cry for a change

Don't need no lone survivor

I need someone by my side

We don't have to make it perfect

Oh, but maybe we could try

Love me for the woman that i am

And i will love you for being just a man

Love me for the woman that i am

And i will love you for being my man
