I don't want to be your mother
|
There's two sides to each other
|
You gotta meet me halfway
|
Won't you let me be your lover?
|
|
Don't be no lone survivor
|
I'm not going anywhere
|
I'm just trying to tell you how I feel
|
This one-sided love affair
|
|
How do I get the man in you to see
|
I'm so much more than the mother in me
|
|
I don't want to be your savior
|
Forgive your bad behavior
|
You gotta meet me halfway
|
'Cause there's so much to discover
|
|
Don't be no lone survivor
|
I won't leave you in the cold
|
I'll be standing right beside you
|
When you're feeling all alone
|
|
The only way to set yourself free
|
Is letting go of the savior in me
|
|
Baby, don't you shut me out
|
Baby, don't shut down on me
|
I'm not going anywhere
|
I'm not going anywhere
|
I only want to bring you back to me
|
|
Baby, please don't shut me down
|
Time won't bring me back to you
|
I'd be lying to myself
|
I'd be lying to myself
|
And that's the only thing I cannot do
|
|
I want to be your sweetheart
|
I want to be your lady
|
Oh, I want to get swept away
|
Let me cry for a change
|
|
Don't need no lone survivor
|
I need someone by my side
|
We don't have to make it perfect
|
Oh, but maybe we could try
|
|
Love me for the woman that I am
|
And I will love you for being just a man
|
Love me for the woman that I am
|
And I will love you for being my man
|
