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?
