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 man
That I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't posses me
And he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me
That only he can fill

(Backing singers)
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 musn'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

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

I couldn't really blame you
If you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside
I'm asking you to stay
