I don't want to be your mother There's two sides to each other

 You gotta meet me halfway Won't you let me be your lover

Don't be no lone survivor I'm not going anywhere

 I'm just trying to tell you how I feel This one-sided love affair

 How do I get the man in your to see I'm so much more than the mother in me

I don't want to be your savior Forgive your bad behavior

 You gotta meet me halfway 'Cause theres so much to discover

Don't be no lone survivor I won't leave you in the cold

 I'll be standing right beside you when you're feeling all alone

 The only way to set yourself free Is letting go of the savior in me

Baby don't you shut me out Baby don't shut down on me

I'm not going anywhere I'm not going anywhere

I only want to bring you back to me

Baby please don't shut me down Time won't bring me back to you

I'd be lying to myself I'd be lying to myself

That's the only thing I cannot do

I want to be your sweetheart I want to be your lady

 Oh I want to get swept away Let me cry for a change

Don't need no lone survivor I need someone by my side

 We don't have to make it perfect Oh but maybe we could try

Love me for the woman that I am And I will love you for being just a man

Love me for the woman that I am And I will love you for being my man
