Lyrics

Peripheral Lover

I'm in your backstage I'm on your sideline I'm looking your way So won't you put me in your sight lines I want it, I want it, I want it all right now I want it, I want it, I want it all right now Don't you make me your peripheral lover, no I wanna be there in the middle You need to give me something visceral, baby I wanna be there in the middle I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral You take me for a ride You're playing unfair Can you make up your mind? Because you give me the impression you care Do you care? Do you care? Do you care? Don't you make me your peripheral lover, no I wanna be there in the middle You need to give me something visceral, baby I wanna be there in the middle I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral Don't you make me your peripheral lover Don't you make me your peripheral lover I wanna be there in the middle You need to give me something visceral, baby I wanna be there in the middle Don't you make me your peripheral lover I wanna be there in the middle You need to give me something visceral, baby I wanna be there in the middle I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral I'm not your peripheral lover I'm not your peripheral
