I'd Rather Be Your Lover lyrics

[Chorus:]

I could be your sister, I could be your mother

We could be friends, I'd even be your brother

But I'd rather be your lover

That's right, I'd rather be your lover

I don't know where I stand with you

I never ever make any plans with you

I don't know what I mean to you

The only thing I know is I dream of you

[Bridge:]

And all that I know (all that I know)

Is I just don't understand (just don't understand)

Why my, mmmm, happiness always lies

In the palm of your hand, but

[chorus]

Sometimes I know what you're thinking next

But wouldn't it be better if I loved you less?

Sometimes I think that I made you up

But wouldn't it be better if I gave you up?

[bridge]

[chorus]

Are you surprised?

[Spoken:]

Tell me whatch-ya want, tell me whatch-ya need

Tell me whatch-ya want, tell me whatch-ya need

I, I betcha I, I give you whatch-ya need

Take a walk within me, venture through the dark sea

Can't you see, I need you beside me

Don't you see, I want you to want me

[bridge]

[chorus, repeat]

Are you surprised?

[chorus]

Are you surprised? Are you?
