I'm just the lover
It's hard for me to sit
here and say
That this relationship is only
one way
Your needs are met
My needs are neglected

You can go with me
anywhere
I remain in the shadows
It's not fair
I can call you
my girlfriend
That's what I
can say

I don't know what you
call me
If someone saw us together
at  times I have to
walk away

You're invited to a place
where there are couples
Even single ones too
It doesn't really matter
because
I can't be with you

There's not even a thought
for me to go along
To everybody else I'm
just a ghost  
You wouldn't even ask
the host
If I could go too
This is the part I hate
the most

I don't think you would
have fun with me
tagging along
We go here we go there it
doesn't matter then

To go to a party it's
forbidden
Even if I was called
just a friend
I guess that would be
a good explanation
if anybody was to ask
who I am

We can't be a couple
or even go
as a friend
That's the way this
relationship
works
You decide what I
can attend

The Point is that I'm not
wanted there
It's Pam's bubble
that works for you
If you really wanted
me to be with you
You would ask her
for me to go
it's true

It doesn't really matter
as long as you
enjoy you

I know you said to me
It's my decision what I
want to do.
I believe it's your
decision too

You have control
over where I can go
when I can and
  can't be with you
My feelings are
If you really wanted me there
I would be

I have finally realized
I'm just a lover
Not to be known as
anything else
to others
that
I'm supposed to
remain Undercover that's
the role of a lover
Not to expect
anything other
that's just who
I am
