Lyrics

You Can't Be My Lova

Laying naked on your bed
Just wanna be friends you said
Don't wanna give you the power of this song
Or the power that you did me wrong

Peace lovin' peaceful man
Get your love any way you can
You touch like love but your touch is a lie.
I walk out your door with my head held high
Not a kiss goodbye

You can' be my lover, If you don't open your heart
I don't bullshit with your games, Make it clear from the start
You can't be my lover, If you don't want it all
I'm as good as it gets baby, And I ain't tryin to fall

When you see me on the street
Wanna snuggle up to me
I say, How's your girl, how's your life
You know, I coulda been your...

You still make me wanna scream
And do all kinds of freaky things
I need a man who's strong and true
To love me more than I love you
Make my dreams come true

You can' be my lover, If you don't open your heart
I don't bullshit with your games, Make it clear from the start
You can't be my lover, If you don't want it all
I'm as good as it gets baby, And I ain't tryin to fall

But sometimes at night, I wanna call you anyway
Sometimes at night, I gotta push those thoughts away
Sometimes on a lonely night, I gotta call you just to say
Doo, doo, dut dut, dee, doo doo doo, dut, dut, dut dut dee

You can' be my lover, If you don't open your heart
I don't bullshit with your games, Make it clear from the start
You can't be my lover, If you don't want it all
I'm as good as it gets baby, And I ain't tryin to fall

You can't be my lova if you don't
Come over here, open your heart
