At every glance, you steal from me 

I catch your eyes still offering 

Ill-got desire bought with deceit 

'Cause borrowed love ain't never free 



I vainly swear in my starved mind 

To crave your look only one more time 

And pray not to reap what we might sow 

If borrowed love should start to grow 



Borrowed love, not yours for givin' 

Borrowed love, not mine to seek 

Borrowed love, this road we're takin' 

Toward one another's awful steep 



Forgiveness for what passion wreaks 

Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap 

Its wages paid with misery 

'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
