Pat Benatar- I Don't Want to Be Your Friend

I Don't Want to Be Your Friend - Lyrics:

Did you see me last night
I was there in the dark
I saw her look at you, the way I used to do
When I still had your heart

I watched you take her hand
There was love in your eyes
I remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover

Am I gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow
When you lie there with her
Does my memory stir, any part of you now
I know that I should concede, face the truth and all that
I know I should realize, I'm not a part of your life anymore
But I can't

'Coz I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover

And when I think I've had enough
And I just can't stand the pain
I reminisce about the way
It felt to have you every day
You know that every time I hear your voice
I still get a thrill
And there's nothing I can do about it

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think I can pretend
That you mean nothin' to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your

she is playing this song this round of summer tours thank god, and tells story of its inception its basically over coffee and her telling Neil 'SHUT UP' right off in the morning then him going ok and then her telling him he is 'STUPID' and finally she slides song idea to him on slip of papaer about a bad dream she had. (and we get this kick ass song)
