"Don't Want Your Best Friend" lyrics

Don't Want Your Best Friend

She's got her independence
In a hard fast way
She's got me chasing shadows
With everything I try to say

Some say she's far too quick
Some say she's slow to learn
But all I know is she gave me love
That left afterburn

And its fire feeds me
I'm hungry still
So baby listen now
I'm at your will
But I'm not a flower
On your windowsill

Don't want your best friend
Don't need a Godsend
Don't want your new trends
I want you

She's got a silver sabre
With a diamond shine
It's not an ego-trip
Just her frightened way
To keep you blind

Whoah, shadow dancing
Nowhere fast
You got to meet me half way
Girl if it's gonna last

I remember that first night
I dream of it still
I want that feeling
And I want that thrill
I've always loved you
And I always will

Don't want your best friend
Don't need a Godsend
Don't want your new trends
I want you

Don't want your best friend
I remember that first night
I dream of it still
I want that feeling
And I want that thrill
I've always loved you
And I always will
Take me home

Don't want your best friend
Don't need a Godsend
Don't want your new trends
I want you

Don't want your best friend
Don't need a Godsend, oh
Don't want your new trends
I want you
