I could be your sister, 
I could be your mother 
We could be friends, 
I'd even be your brother 
But I'd rather be your lover 
That's right, 
I'd rather be your lover 

I don't know where I stand with you 
I never ever make any plans with you 
I don't know what I mean to you 
The only thing I know is 
I dream of you 

And all that I know [all that I know] 
Is I just don't understand [just don't understand] 
Why my, mmmm, happiness always lies 
In the palm of your hand, but 

Sometimes I know what you're thinking next 
But wouldn't it be better 
if I loved you less? 
Sometimes I think that I made you up 
But wouldn't it be better if I gave you up? 

Are you surprised? 

Tell me whatch-ya want, tell me whatch-ya need 
Tell me whatch-ya want, tell me whatch-ya need 
I, I betcha I, I give you whatch-ya need 
Take a walk within me, venture through the dark sea 
Can't you see, I need you beside me 
Don't you see, I want you to want me 

Are you surprised? 
Are you surprised? Are you?
