I Dont Want To Be Your Friend
Pat Benatar
Letra

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 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 good-bye
                                         
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 a part of your life anymore,
But I can’t

                                      
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 good-bye
                                         
Even when you know it’s over
                                
I don’t want to be your friend
                             
I want to be your lover

Bridge:
                                  
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

SOLO  (Intro again over verse chords)


                                      
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 good-bye
                                         
Even when you know it’s over
                               
I don’t want to be your friend
                             
I want to be your lover 

 End:       
                                
I don’t want to be your friend
                             
I want to be your lover 

  (slowly)
                                
I don’t want to be your friend
                             
I want to be your lover
