Never A Lover & Always The Friend Lyrics - Blues Traveler

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
