Texas - I Don't Want A Lover (Official 1989 Music Video)

The official music video for Texas - I Don't Want A Lover from 1989 on KZbin in HD for the first time.
Lyrics:
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day, it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's seems a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
'Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me there
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care 'bout what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care about what I'm saying
You don't even think what you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room in there for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover (now that I know)
I just need a prayer (now that I know)
I know you never cared (it wasn't love, no)
Now that I know it wasn't love (it wasn't love)
I don't want a lover (now that I know, yeah)
I just need a friend (now that I know, yeah I know it wasn't love)

WE ALL start chanting this monster tune. And the best part... Knowing we're in the same beautiful city as this wee minx and at any time she could walk past and hear 20 horny teens rocking out to this classic banger lol Great times. Great people.

They just don't make music like they used to. Over produced and lifeless music of today don't hold a candle, is not even in the same room as the candle, to the music of old. These where amazing muso's that can rock up and nail a song in one take. No overdubbing and autotune needed. Just incredible music

[@QE2Glasgow]

Brings back memories of buying my 1st Sony Walkman in 1989 with a switch on it for "chrome" and the Southside cassette had the chrome symbol on the sleeve. What a difference in sound quality when you flicked to "Chromium" on the Walkman. Good times! Great song!

[@thexrayman50]

Amazing band and her vocals are kick-ass on this song. Everything was right on, fantastic.

[@Rockythefishman]

One of my favourite tunes of all time till

[@josephmotwani2929]

Texas came to Fat Sams, Dundee, early 1989, just after this gem of a debut single hit the charts & shortly before the release of the Southside album . Their look and performance were pretty much as fabulous as in this video. Wonderful time capsule.
