Lyrics
Her brother was a soldier in the army
Her father was a sailor on the sea
Her mother cooked in other people's houses
Her sister was a lady of the street
She always tried to set a good example
But for whom I'll never understand
And anything I asked, she gladly offered
She did not want a lover, just a friend
She don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
She says she can't live with me, that would be a sin
I'm on the outside, left standing looking in
'Cause she don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
She loves to walk alone among her garden
And pick the flowers just to watch them die
The birds eat from her hand just like a statue
I've never seen her laugh or seen her cry
She don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
She says she can't live with me, that would be a sin
I'm on the outside, left standing looking in
She don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
She don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
She says she can't live with me, that would be a sin
I'm on the outside, left standing looking in
She don't want a lover, she just needs a friend
