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

(chorus)
since i met you, i´ve been hearing the same thing
and its seems its 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

(repeat chorus x4)
