Don’t tell me it’s love
We’ve been over this before
And I’m sensing you want more
I don’t need someone who
Complicates me
And it’s not that I don’t care
But there’s some things that I can’t share
Girl, I told you I’m not there
Girl the world’s been down on me
I don’t need someone to own me
Girl, a lover is all I need
I’m the one who needs to hold me
Since I met you, I’ve been hearing the same thing
And it seems it’s all we talk about lately
So before you go out on the limb
Don’t tell me it’s love
It’s that look in your eyes that betrays me
And the things that you do to amaze me
So before you go saying you love me
Don’t tell me it’s so
What I’m offering’s what you see
I’m giving you my honesty
And I’m sorry if it hurts to hear the truth
And maybe I will find in time
That all along girl, you were right
That I should have made you mine
But for now I still believe
That I don’t need someone to own me
Just a lover is all I need
And someone who’s gonna hold me.
