 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
