I Don'T Want To Be Your Friend
Pat Benatar


Did you see me last night
I was there in the dark
I saw her look at you
The way I used to
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 be 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
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

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
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
