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
