[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
And all that I know (all that I know)
Is I just don't understand (just don't understand)
Why my, mmmm, happiness always lies
In the palm of your hand, but
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Bridge]
Are you surprised?
[Me'Shell Ndegeocello rap]
Tell me what do you want, tell me what do you need
Tell me what do you want, tell me what do you need
I, I bet you I, I give you what do you 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
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1][x2]
[Bridge]
Are you surprised?
[Chorus 1][x2]
[Outro]
Are you surprised? Are you?
