    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
    To face life on my own
    I know you don't love me no more
    I knew this day, it would come
    Even when it cuts so deep
    It's true I still want you
    But the harder I try
    The more I seem to lose
    I don't want a lover
    I just need a friend
    I've had time to recover
    Now that I know it wasn't love
    It's seems a different story
    When it's me who's in the wrong
    But you can't have it all
    'Cause I'm the one who's strong
    I've already been burnt before
    Once but never again
    I know the time will come
    That's when you'll need me there
    I don't want a lover
    I just need a friend
    I've had time to recover
    Now that I know it wasn't love
    I don't want a lover
    I just need a prayer
    I know you never cared
    Now that I know it wasn't love
    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's just no room for me
    I don't want a lover
    I just need a friend
    I've had time to recover
    Now that I know it wasn't love
    You don't even care about what I'm saying
    You don't even think what you're doing
    All you see is what you want it to be
    There's just no room in there for me
    I don't want a lover
    I just need a friend
    I've had to recover
    Now that I know it wasn't love
    I don't want a lover (now that I know)
    I just need a prayer (now that I know)
    I know you never cared (it wasn't love, no)
    Now that I know it wasn't love (it wasn't love)
    I don't want a lover (now that I know, yeah)
    I just need a friend (now that I know, yeah I know it wasn't love)

    Boombox blasting chart mix tapes lol
    This comes on.
    Sound gets turned UP.
    WE ALL start chanting this monster tune.
    And the best part... Knowing we're in the same beautiful city as this wee minx and at any time she could walk past and hear 20 horny teens rocking out to this classic banger lol
    Great times.
    Great people.
    What a city we have.
    Love from Scotland to you all x

    They just don't make music like they used to. Over produced and lifeless music of today don't hold a candle, is not even in the same room as the candle, to the music of old. These where amazing muso's that can rock up and nail a song in one take. No overdubbing and autotune needed. Just incredible music

    Timeless classic that could’ve easily reached no.1 today. Quality of the song shows in the fact that Sharleen doesn’t need to show off her s***uality like today’s female singers, and in fact you don’t really think about the fact that she’s woman. They’re just a great band with a great lead singer producing quality music! Love it. ❤

    Been a fan of Texas since I heard this album playing in our local music store as the album of the day! Bought it that day and damn near wore the tape out listening to it. This album holds so many good memories for me! Glad to finally see the video for the 1st time!
