There are times when a man has to say what's on his mind,
even though he knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another word let me tell you: I love you
Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can:
There's been another woman that I needed and I love
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And she knows she can't possess me and she knows she never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only she can fill.
(Chorus:)
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules.
You mustn't think you've failed me just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said, I swear they still are true
For no-one else can have the part of me I gave to you.
Chorus
I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay.
Chorus (bis)
