I'd Rather Be Your Lover Songtext

I don't know what I mean to you
The only thing I know is I dream of you

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

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

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?

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

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
Are you surprised? (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!) 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, now

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, now

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

Are you surprised? (I could be your sister) 'Cause I could be your mother
(We could be friends, I'd...) I'd even be your brother, but I'd
Rather be your lover
That's right!
I'd rather be your lover!
Are you surprised?
Are you?
