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 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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Repeat chorus]
