I Wanna Be Your Lover

The Cascades


Tom: Am

C  Am  F  G

[Verse]
C                        Am
You don't know the way I feel, oh no
C                          Em
Well, you think we're just friends
     F             G
So I go along like nothing's wrong
      Am                F
But I know that it's only pretense

[Chorus]
                C
I wanna be your lover
                 E
(I wanna be your lover)
                      Am
I don't wanna be your friend
(Am)   Am    G  G    Am       E  Am  G
(don't wanna be your friend)

[Verse]
C                        Am
Well I don't know what to tell you, oh no
C                     Em
I just can't find the words
              F                   G
Cause there's so many things that I wanna say
           Am                  F
But I just don't know where to begin

[Chorus]
                C
I wanna be your lover
                 E
(I wanna be your lover)
                      Am
I don't wanna be your friend
(Am)   Am    G  G    Am        Am
(don't wanna be your friend)

[Bridge]
F
You don't know just how much I love you
C                   Em
Though it's easy to see
F
Cause if you knew how much I love you
    G     F                 G     F    Em   Dm
And maybe someday, well you might love me

[Verse]
C                        Am
So I hope in time you'll love me, oh yeah
C                 Em
Love me as I love you
       F                  G
But if this can't be, I'd rather see
    Am                     F
The whole thing come to an end

[Chorus]
                C
I wanna be your lover
                 E
(I wanna be your lover)
                      Am
I don't wanna be your friend
(Am)   Am    G  G    F
(don't wanna be your friend)

[Outro]
                         C
No I don't wanna be your friend
(C)                  Am
(don't wanna be your friend)
