Chorus:

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

Bridge:

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

(chorus)

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?

(bridge)
(chorus)

Are you surprised?

(spoken:)
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

(bridge)
(chorus, repeat)
Are you surprised?
(chorus)
Are you surprised? are you?
