"I Don't Want A Lover (Bernard Edwards Mix)" lyrics

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

You can't just leave me
When I hold the key to your life
I know you don't love me no more
It's like the blade of a knife
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But conscience tells me
There's only one thing to choose

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can have the glory
'Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
[?]
But now [?]

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
You don't even care
If you need a friend

You don't even care 'bout what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there, there ain't no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

You don't even care 'bout what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there, there ain't no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You don't even care
If you need a friend

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
