The AM finds me home alone; awake and dead   Morning blinds me had that dream of you again   Fog is lifting I realize that you're not here   How you left me; life disappeared      Life is rejection; I know you've had your share   But this one's special I can't compete with her   And did she tell you only she could know your mind   And did she sell you what I said one time      She can be your lover   She can be your friend   She can be your vision of a mother, like the one you never had   She will know your troubles better than I can   But she'll never be your man   She'll never be your man   She'll never be your man      She's got you thinking of a world where you might fit in   A whole lot better than the one you've been living in   And did she tell you only she could understand   And did she sell you only time will tell      She can be your lover   She can be your friend   She can be your vision of a mother, like the one you never had   She can know your troubles better than I can   But she'll never be your man   She'll never be your man   She'll never be your man      She can be your lover   She can be your friend   She can be your vision of a mother, like the one you never had   She will know your troubles better than I can   But one thing's for sure...   she'll never be your man   She can be your lover   She can be your friend   She can be your vision of a mother, like the one you never had   She will know your troubles better than I can   Yeah, but one thing's for sure...   she'll never be your man
