Casual Lover

I'm not him and you're not her
The past couple years have been a blur
Kinda glad you never knew me then
If you did, I fear we wouldn't be friends, and I'm
Still hurting over someone else
Yeah, you got some issues yourself
We touching, kissing, hoping it would help but
I could only wish you well

We don't have to be together
To do all the things that couples do
Just take away the "I love yous", yeah
Could you be my causal lover
When I need somebody more than a friend?
Not in love but we can pretend, yeah
Be my casual lover, casual lover
My casual lover

All the fun and none of the pain
All the sun and none of the rain, yeah
Everything about this to me is making sense
Proof's in the pudding, yeah, that sugar's evident
Is this more than just a one night affair?
Do you want me to get outta your hair?
With a gentle smile, you said "no"
But if you need to go, then go, oh

We don't have to be together
To do all the things that couples do
Just take away the "I love yous", yeah
Could you be my causal lover
When I need somebody more than a friend?
Not in love but we can pretend, yeah
Be my casual lover, casual lover
My casual lover, uh

Casual love is just love without all the casualties
We can lie to ourselves, but in reality
What we're looking for is somewhere in between
And I ain't tryna say that I want commitment free, 'cause
Waking up in someone else's bed ain't good for me
I don't wanna teach a stranger how to love me
I'm sorry I can't let you closer, but
I'm right there if you need a shoulder

We don't have to be together
To do all the things that couples do
Just take away the "I love yous", yeah
Could you be my causal lover
When I need somebody more than a friend?
Not in love but we can pretend, yeah
Be my casual lover, casual lover
