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

I don't know where I stand with you

I never ever make any plans with you

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, 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

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, 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?

Are you?
