Låttexter: Madonna. Bedtime Stories. I'd Rather Be Your Lover.

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

And all that I know
(All that I know)
Is I just don't understand
(Just don't understand)
Why my, happiness always lies
In the palm of your hand

But 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

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?

And all that I know
(All that I know)
Is I just don't understand
(Just don't understand)
Why my, happiness always lies
In the palm of your hand

But 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
Are you surprised?

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?

And all that I know
(Tell me whatch ya want, tell me whatch ya need)
(All that I know)
Is I just don't understand
(Just don't understand)
Why my, happiness
(Tell me whatch ya want, tell me whatch ya need)
Always lies
(Always lies)
In the palm of your hand

Now, 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

Now, 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
Are you surprised?

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
Are you surprised? Are you?
