Texas are Scottish band fronted by singer Sharleen Spiteri. The band was founded by Johnny McElhone taking their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock from debut album Southside (1989), via blue eyed soul of White on Blonde (1997) to the disco pop of their most recent release Red Book (2005). Sharleen Spiteri (vocals, guitar), Ally McErlaine (guitar), Johnny McElhone (bass) have survived all line ups. In 1994, Ellen DeGeneres requested the use of the Texas track "So Called Friend" as the theme tune for her self-titled ABC Comedy Show.

I Don’t Want A Lover Lyrics

Texas

I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
You can just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you dont love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
Its true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
Ive had time to recover
Now that I know it wasnt love
Its always a different story
When its me whos in the wrong
But you cant have it all
Cause Im the one whos strong
Ive already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
Thats when youll need me then
I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
Ive had time to recover
Now that I know it wasnt love
I dont want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasnt love
You dont even care
About what Im saying
You dont even think
What youre doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there theres just no room for me
I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
Ive had time to recover
Now that I know it wasnt love
You dont even care
About what Im saying
You dont even think
What youre doing
All you see is what you want it to be
Theres just no room in there for me
I dont want a lover
I just need a friend
Ive had time to recover
Now that I know it wasnt love
I dont want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasnt love
