There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind

Even though she 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 man that I've needed and I've loved,

But that doesn't mean I love you less,

And he knows he can't possess me, and he knows he never will,

There's just this empty place inside of me that only he 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 both of you is breaking all the rules



You mustn't think you 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 both of you is breaking all the rules



Couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away

But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay



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 both of you is breaking all the rules



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 both of you is breaking all the rules
