I Could Never Be Your Lover
I Could Never Be Your Lover
You ask of me so many things – I’m not sure how to give;
You say you’ll take me as I am – and accept the way I live.
I won’t try to change you either – let’s both stay the way we are!
That way all our differences should take us both quite far!
Chorus:
For I could never be your lover – but I could always be your friend –
I know it has begun now – but I don’t know how it’ll end.
Yes – I could never be your lover – but I could always be your friend!
No, I could never be your lover – but I could always be your friend!
I’m not sure that I could love you the way I think you need –
I’m not sure you would approve of - the life that I now lead.
I feel sure I’d let you down in ways that might hurt you too–
Even though I wouldn’t change the way I think of me and you.
