Never A Lover And Always The Friend

Music & lyrics: john popper



Come to me madam, come one and all

I'll be there to save you from your romancing fall

I'll be there to touch you with some words to a song

And i'll see what i can do to fix what is wrong

You're sharing my power you're sharing my pain

You tell me you love me and i will not complain

My advice seems to work, for you're soon on your way

And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay

But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end

Cause i'm never the lover and always the friend



I put on no pressure and know i'm on your mind

I love you forever and i'll always be kind

Loneliness knows me so i know what to say

And i see how it will be so i know when to play

Come share in my power, come share in my pain

Come tell me you love me and i will not complain

My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way

And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay

But a kiss on the cheek is where it will end

Because i'm never the lover and always the friend



I can remember a time that was enough

And the safety we had made it seem almost like being in love

Being in love

Oh, love



A bartending minstrel, i will answer your call

A carnival gypsy with his twelve-string crystal ball

I can't really touch you so my songs are all lies

The truth is simply pain and the tears in your eyes

But you can share in my power, you can share in my pain

You can tell me love me and i cannot complain

My advice seems to work and you're soon on your way

And you thank me so much and i will tell you it's okay

But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end

Because i'm never the lover and always the friend

Come share in my power, come share in my pain

You can tell me love me and i cannot complain

My advice seems to work for you're soon on your way

And you thank me so much and i tell you it's okay

But a kiss on the cheek is where it must end

Cause i'm never the lover and always the friend

Cause i'm never the lover and always the friend

Cause i'm never the lover and always the f
