I Wanna Be Your Lover
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.
You don't now the way I feel, oh no
Well, you think we're just friends
So I go along like nothing's wrong
But I know that is only pretense
I wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your lover)
I don't wanna be your friend
(don't wanna be your friend)
Well I don't kow what to tell you, oh no
I just can't find the words
Cause there's so many things That I wanna say
But I just don't know where to begin
I wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your lover)
I don't wanna be your friend
(don't wanna be your friend)
You don't know just how much I love you
Though it's easy to see
Cause if you knew how much I love you
And maybe someday, well you might love me
So I hope in time you'll love me, oh yeah
Love me as I love yu
But if this can't be, I'd rather see
The whole thing come to an end
I wanna be your lover
(I wanna be your lover)
I don't wanna be your friend
(don't wanna be your friend)
No I don't wanna be your friend
(don't wanna be your friend)
