Lyrics

(I) don't like to be your friend 'Cause I can do much better Can give you many more things To prove you I'm your man, why should I give in and be a loser Can't you see all I want Is your love So I'm gonna change and make Another start I'd like to be your hero Tell me my feeling's right And I guess you won't mind Sometimes hero Spending the rest of my life Like you hero not only your lover (I) don't want to be a toy You're using to play with A toy you drop or break To prove yourself you're strong Why should put up with my big lot Can't you see that all I want Is I'm gonna chance and make Another start
