[00:04.50]
[00:06.33]
[00:06.70]I don't want to be your mother
[00:09.60]There's two sides to each other
[00:13.06]You gotta meet me halfway
[00:15.83]Won't you let me be your lover?
[00:19.22]
[00:19.41]Don't be no lone survivor
[00:22.75]I'm not going anywhere
[00:26.15]I'm just trying to tell you how I feel
[00:29.42]This one-sided love affair
[00:32.88]
[00:32.94]How do I get the man in you to see
[00:38.10]I'm so much more than the mother in me
[00:44.71]
[00:55.27]I don't want to be your savior
[00:57.79]Forgive your bad behavior
[01:01.50]You gotta meet me halfway
[01:04.33]'Cause there's so much to discover
[01:08.30]
[01:08.55]Don't be no lone survivor
[01:11.20]I won't leave you in the cold
[01:14.66]I'll be standing right beside you
[01:17.68]When you're feeling all alone
[01:21.39]
[01:21.45]The only way to set yourself free
[01:26.61]Is letting go of the savior in me
[01:33.66]
[01:35.10]Baby, don't you shut me out
[01:38.31]Baby, don't shut down on me
[01:41.46]I'm not going anywhere
[01:44.73]I'm not going anywhere
[01:48.25]I only want to bring you back to me
[01:53.67]
[02:03.86]Baby, please don't shut me down
[02:06.63]Time won't bring me back to you
[02:09.90]I'd be lying to myself
[02:13.36]I'd be lying to myself
[02:16.57]And that's the only thing I cannot do
[02:26.07]
[02:33.37]I want to be your sweetheart
[02:36.14]I want to be your lady
[02:39.85]Oh, I want to get swept away
[02:42.68]Let me cry for a change
[02:46.27]
[02:46.33]Don't need no lone survivor
[02:49.48]I need someone by my side
[02:53.00]We don't have to make it perfect
[02:56.02]Oh, but maybe we could try
[02:59.42]
[02:59.48]Love me for the woman that I am
[03:05.14]And I will love you for being just a man
[03:13.07]Love me for the woman that I am
[03:18.61]And I will love you for being my man
