Friend And A 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.
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na na na.
Caught in a dead end, you took the wrong bend,
To you I'm your friend, but I wanna be your lover,
Caught in a hurricane, out in the cold rain,
Couldn't make it much plainer, but you
Still can't discover that I wanna be your lover.
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
na na na, na na na na, na na na na na,
Na na na na na na na,
Night and day, day and night, night and day and night
Whoa! I need you by my side.
Inside, outside, upside down,
Ev'rything is turned around without you.
Up on a tight rope, below is no hope,
'Cause I'm only a friend and I wanna be your lover,
Caught in a landslide, feel like it's low tide,
Well I swallowed my pride, but you
Still can't discover that I wanna be your lover.
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
Na na na, na na na na, na na na na na,
Na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na,
Na na na na na, na na na, na na na na.
