We passed on the street and we don't even speak
I guess that's the price we must pay
So I'll go on pretending I don't even know you if that's the only way

In the dark of the night when you hold me tight
There's so little time you can stay
But I'll wait here forever to hold you one hour if that's the only way

If that's the only way, my darling, that's the way it'll be
Oh yes, I know how much you love me, that's enough for me

We both know we're wrong but our love's still strong
And it seems to get stronger every day
So I'll go on pretending I don't even know you if that's the only way

And I'll wait here forever to hold you one hour if that's the only way
And I'll go on pretending I don't even know you if that's the only way
