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 you 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, feelin' like a fool

Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules

Torn between two lovers, feelin' like a fool

Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules



You mustn'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



CHORUS



I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away

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



CHORUS





Torn between two lovers

FADE

Feelin' like a fool

Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules
