Song Lyrics

I know you're not mine, only borrowed
'Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I'm starting to believe it ain't the whole truth
'Cause when we're lying side by side, I get the whole you

I wanna hold out, but gotta hold on
Even though I know it's wrong
I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed

Do you tell her that you love her
Like you do me
Do you make love to her
The way you make love to me
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
Oh it's pathetic how I lie around and wait
All the damn time
It's a short hide and long low
Every time you have to go

I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
'Cause you're borrowed
Only borrowed

How much time is left and you don't return
Don't return
How much time?
Oh, is left, till you don't return
Don't return, how much time?

I know you're not mine, only borrowed
And I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
'Cause you're borrowed, only borrowed
Yeah you're borrowed
