If I Could Be What You Wanted

I was walking to his house last night
He stopped me in my tracks he said
You've got to give me space and then
He took me in his arms and kissed me
Well I tried to ignore his sweet caress
and the gifts he gave to me they weren't
gifts you give to your best friend they
meant so much more than that

if i could be what you wanted
if I could be what you need

Well he was dancing with her
and I had to look away even though
she is my best friend i don't think
that I have to stay here with them
Try as I may i haven't understood a word
because when he talks all he does is talk
and i look at his eyes and slide

i don't know what to do with him he
always drifts away and then he walks
into my bedroom and he jokes with me and
mesmerizes
I just can't complain about this
i don't want to lose him but i
can't seem to hold on when my own
mind just slips away and away and away
