Intro: riff riff riff
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 remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye
I donât want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I donât think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
Itâs hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know itâs over
I donât 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 Iâm not a part of your life anymore,
But I canât
I donât want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I donât think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
Itâs hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know itâs over
I donât want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
Bridge:
And when I think Iâve had enough
And I just canât 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 thereâs nothing I can do about it
SOLO (Intro again over verse chords)
I donât want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I donât think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
Itâs hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know itâs over
I donât want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
End:
I donât want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
(slowly)
I donât want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
