I Don't Want To Be Your Lover

Rick Astley · Together Forever: The Best Of Rick Astley [2007]

I don't want to be your lover



Last night I heard you creeping

I was almost sleeping when I heard you come home

You knew I loved you madly

And I would gladly do anything for you



You climbed the stairs to Heaven

But you may never climb those stairs again

You thought you'd be forgiven

But I was driven to make you understand



I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your head

I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your bed



Tell me, how you could do it?

Why put me through it when you said you'd be true?

You said that it was nothing

But it was something and sometimes that's enough



You climbed the stairs to Heaven

But you may never climb those stairs again

You thought you'd be forgiven

But I was driven to make you understand



I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your head

I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your bed



You climbed the stairs to Heaven

But you may never climb those stairs again

You thought you'd be forgiven

But I was driven to make you understand



I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your head

I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your bed



I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your head

I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your bed



I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your head

I don't want to be your lover

When there's another lover in your bed
