Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend - LOBO " fhe619 "( with lyrics )

I love you too much to ever start liking you. So don't expect me to be your friend. I don't walk down through the village or other places. That we used to go to all the time.

[@demietria]

This song is my mantra.. for 11 years, I love a man who doesn't love me.. he moved on to another lady. He told me many times now that he wants us to be able to hang out like we used to.but I know that it's just me that suffers the consequences of hope. If no one can relate to this song, they are lucky.

[@richardmoore2124]

I guess I'm not so lucky. I'm 61 years old, never been married or had kids. I've always been second best. At my age now, I know that there was never anyone for me and there never will be. If God hates me so much, then why did he create me and sentence me to a life of loneliness? Beats the flying fuck outta me! I feel your pain, believe me, I do!

[@geneglor5045]

God is love i know God loves you. There are chances may came your way that somebody loves you but never notice it? Take your time .do believe out of knowhere someone's looking for you.

[@davewillis3437]

A song about the fallacy of the adage of "Let's just be friends". If you truly loved someone that is simply impossible. No matter how much you try, you simply cannot ever settle for friendship. The deep feelings get in the way.

[@whowho]

But between a friendship or nothing at all, which is better?

[@lindseyduran4446]

Friendship, or nothing at all. Deep thoughts, intriguing question. In my opinion, not a correct answer, personal choice. Two involved individuals, both must agree. In my situation, absolutely no doubt in my mind. Preference for him to remain part of my life. Obviously, we are not in agreement.

One of the most beautiful saddest songs of all time...Back in 2013 I met a wonderful woman who I started dating and after several months we became full fledged boyfriend and girlfriend we were madly in love but ironically the relationship only lasted for 5 years but they were some of the happiest years of my life...In the year 2018 she met someone else and got married and I was devastated but life went on as I soon discovered... Tragically in 2020 she lost her life to the Corona virus and all I can think about is the good times we had together...R.I.P. babe...😭😭😭...

I'm generally not into "country-ish" music, and I forgot about hearing Lobo songs on the radio back in the early-mid 70s (when I was around 10-15 years old, give or take), but hearing this song--as well as another song from the same album, "I'd Love You to Want Me"--brings back fond memories of that time in my life. 😊

I cant believe how much this song mirrors my feelings... Regardless of all the betrayal, I still really do love her with every fiber of my being.. She was my best friend in this world and fiance.. and that makes it 2 losses that I am mourning over.. But I love her way to much to ever just be friends......

🎼 Don't expect me to be your friend.🎶 by LOBO. I always think of a certain young man who sang this to me, long ago. We were so young, I believe I broke his heart. At that time, I just didn't see it, I thought he was my best friend, he told me through this song, he wanted more. It is my one true regret.💔

[@guamsaint]

@maxpao123- The song is saying that he loves her too much to ever start liking her or to be her friend. Before you love someone you have to like them first and be their friend. He doesn't want to start all over again or go back to that part of his feelings he had towards her.

To be used and then replaced with another men by the women you love with your whole heart is probably one of the worst feelings you can through, and even worse I am not shure if you can go through it at all. You know you should hate her, and you would, if it was a simple teenie love or something. But it isnt. You love this women so much that you just want her to be happy. But you want her to be happy with you. But you cant have that. So what you gonna do? Cant love her, cant hate her, cant go on
