Chris Rea Don't Want Your Best Friend lyrics

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 after burn

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 saber with a diamond shine
It's not an ego trip just her frightened way
To keep you blind
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
Take me home
