Living On Borrowed Love
You told me at the start
Someone else had held a place in your heart
And though you both had gone your separate ways
You hope to get him back someday
I told you I didn't care
I'd be happy for whatever time we shared
But I got caught up in a trap
Now I can't accept the fact
I'm living on borrowed love
You never belonged to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To ever give you up
But it's what I get
We're living on borrowed love
I thought that within time
Your love for him would die
And I could make you mine
Oh, but now I see that I was wrong
Your love for him is much too strong
My time with you is slipping fast
So I love you like each day is my last
What was the use in us pretending?
Ain't gonna be no happy ending
I'm living on borrowed love
You never belonged to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To ever give you up
But it's what I get
The day I feared the most has finally come
You're going back to him
Why'd I have to be the one
Living on borrowed love
He'll never belong to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To have to give you up
But it's what I get, baby
Living on borrowed love
Baby, living, living, living, living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
It's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To have to give you up
But it's what I get
Someone else had held a place in your heart
And though you both had gone your separate ways
You hope to get him back someday
I told you I didn't care
I'd be happy for whatever time we shared
But I got caught up in a trap
Now I can't accept the fact
I'm living on borrowed love
You never belonged to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To ever give you up
But it's what I get
We're living on borrowed love
I thought that within time
Your love for him would die
And I could make you mine
Oh, but now I see that I was wrong
Your love for him is much too strong
My time with you is slipping fast
So I love you like each day is my last
What was the use in us pretending?
Ain't gonna be no happy ending
I'm living on borrowed love
You never belonged to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To ever give you up
But it's what I get
The day I feared the most has finally come
You're going back to him
Why'd I have to be the one
Living on borrowed love
He'll never belong to me
Living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
And it's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To have to give you up
But it's what I get, baby
Living on borrowed love
Baby, living, living, living, living on borrowed love
You're mine, temporarily
It's gonna be tough (Gonna be tough)
To have to give you up
But it's what I get
