The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Don't Wanna Be Your Lover" by the artist "Vanessa White"

In "Don't Wanna Be Your Lover," Vanessa White sings about a situation where a casual fling has unexpectedly developed into something more for one of the partners. The female protagonist clearly stated from the beginning that she was only looking for fun and a friends-with-benefits situation.

She's surprised and frustrated that the man has fallen in love because they had both agreed on a no-strings-attached arrangement. Not wanting to hurt him, she honestly confesses that she doesn't reciprocate his romantic feelings and is not ready to be his girlfriend. She refuses to give him false hope and pretend that there's something more between them than just friendship.

The recurring line "I don't wanna be your lover, I'm just looking for a buddy" emphasizes her desire to keep things casual and avoid a romantic relationship. The song conveys her frustration and need for honesty in the relationship, even if it means potentially causing pain.

It was 'spose to be fun

Less than lovers, under covers more than friends

Now you say you're in love

But baby we both said that this was just a fling

Why you wanna mess up a good thing?

You say you're falling

And you can't ignore it

Oh baby I'm sorry

But I can't be your girl

Cos it was 'spose to be fun

Less than lovers, under covers more than friends

I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend

Said that I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend

It was 'spose to be fun

Not exclusive, we both knew it from the start

Now you're acting up

What a mistake to be thinking with your heart

It's only gonna pull you apart

You say you're falling

And you can't ignore it

Oh baby I'm sorry

But I can't be yours

It was 'spose to be fun

Less than lovers, under covers more than friends

I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend

Said that I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend

We said no strings attached

So tell me why you're mad

If you're looking for love

I'm not your type

I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend

Said that I don't wanna be your lover

Just looking for a friend, baby

I don't wanna be your lover

Ain't gonna play pretend
