Someone is lying next to me tonight
Wishing I was someone else and I'm wishing she was right
It's not her fault and it's not mine
We did the best we could
But it's love and only love
That makes the loving good.

We lie and say I love you to each other one more time
And all the while we force our smiles to tory to ease our minds
She's just like me; she had someone she'd go back if she could
'Cause it's love and only love that makes the loving good.

I cannot forget someone I left so long ago
Looking for some thrill I guess but what I just don't know
No I threw away the best I had
I never understood
That It's love and only love
That makes the loving good.

It's love and only love
That makes the loving good...
