Mike & The Mechanics - Don't lyrics

I don't want to condescend

I just want to be your friend

I don't want to drive your car

I just want to make a start

with you

I don't want to touch your lace

I just want to touch your face

but everytime I reach for you

you say you don't want me to - you say

don't

don't hold my hand

you don't understand

don't push too hard

don't go too far - don't

you don't seem to be concerned

when you make my body burn

you don't want to torture me

it's just a little purgatory

I don't want to call you names

you insist on playing hames

when I try to state my case

you just put me in my place -- you say

don't

will you walk with me

will you talk with me

open your heart

and be human to me

it's not fantasy

it's reality

This need for you that's

Consuming me.

I don't want to tempt no fate

you just won't communicate

when I try some sympathy

You just turn your back on me

You say don't
