Is this your voice I heard
speaking my name?
I hang on every word,
each letter that I write,
every day, every night,
but I just can’t live and learn (ooh).
Talking to myself and believing I could live without you.
Living on the lies and believing that love would stay.
Listen to me please and I’m begging on my knees before you,
but you don’t show the way,
no, you don’t show the way.
He may change your world and someday he may break your heart,
and you deserve no better.
If you love him I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still.
And if he don’t keep you warm,
you know I will,
you know (ooh).
So this is who you are,
and the rest of my life I dedicate to you.
And I know that love can’t wait.
There’s a moon and a sun
and a dream that sees me through (ooh).
A little bit of change and a little bit of my desire.
I was shaking all over and I didn’t know what to say.
I’m the man in the middle and the middle man catches fire.
But baby, go away.
Oh baby, go, baby, go away.
He became your hero somehow, I become your clown.
And you deserve no better.
If you love him, I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still.
And if he don’t take your heart, if he don’t take your heart,
you know I will.
It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart,
you say there’s no doubt about it.
If you decide you got somebody else.
(when I want you to myself).
I can’t stop, I can’t look,
I can’t say no more about it,
but my love will go on
just as long as the river flows.
Suddenly someone is crying.
Who knows what tomorrow brings. So…
He may change your world and someday he may break your heart
and you deserve no better.
If you love him I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still (love you still).
And if he don’t take your heart, if he don’t take your heart,
you know I will (ooh)
It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart.
You say there’s no doubt about it.
If you decide you got somebody else.
(when I want you to myself).
I can’t stop, I can’t look,
I can’t say no more about it
but my love will go on
just as long as the river flows.
It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart.
You say there’s no doubt about it
if you decide you got somebody else
(when I want you to myself)…
