I Don't Want To Be Your Friend

Pat Benatar · Innamorata [1997]

Did you see me last night?

I was there in the dark

I saw her look at you the way I used to do

when I still had your heart

I watched you take her hand

There was love in your eyes

I remeber when you looked at me that way too

before we said goodbye



I don't want to be your friend

I just want to be your lover

I don't think I can pretend that you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say goodbye

even when you know it's over

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover



Am I gone from your thoughts

forgotten somehow?

When you lie there with her

does my memory stir any part of you now?

I know that I should concede

face the truth and all that

I know I should realize I'm not part of your life anymore

but I can't



Cause I don't want to be your friend

I just want to be your lover

I don't think I can pretend that you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say goodbye

even when you know it's over

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover



And when I think I've had enough

and I just can't stand the pain

I reminisce about the way it felt to have you every day

You know that every time I hear your voice

I still get a thrill

And there's nothing I can do about it



I don't want to be your friend

I just want to be your lover

I don't think I can pretend that you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say goodbye

even when you know it's over

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your.....oooh oooh....
