[George:]
Don't kiss me, darling
I want you to hear the things I say
I loved you in my way
But you know I'm gonna leave you

[Mutya:]
The clock was always ticking
And your heart
Yes, I know your heart is always on the run

[George:]
I hate what I've become
But I'm still gonna leave you
And I don't think you should stay for the night

[Mutya:]
Baby, you know that my flesh is weak
You know I simply

[Both:]
I cannot sleep without you
My heart has simply nowhere to go

[Mutya:]
Nothing to hold
Those tears you're crying

[George:]
Time and time again
You take me back in, baby

[Mutya:]
You don't have to make it plain

[Both:]
This is not real love

[Mutya:]
Look at us dancing baby
Let's dance and show them all
(Dance and show them all)
How close we are
The lies have worked so far
So we go on deceiving

[George:]
But darling don't you know the time
Baby, look at yourself, holding back the tide
Like you've got something else up your sleeve
That's why I've got to leave

[Both:]
And I don't think you should stay here tonight
(Baby, don't you know that my flesh is weak, you know)
I simply I cannot sleep without you
But someday I'll have nothing to show
(Nothing to show)
(Nothing to show)
I've nothing to hold

[George:]
Oh, baby, crying
All those simple things
That won't come again
Oh do I have to make it plain

This is not real love
And I said this is not real love

[Mutya:]
Real love
Baby, it don't glisten and shine
The way it used to

[George:]
This is not real love (real love)
Baby, think of all the promises I made
On the day that I seduced you
Baby, don't wait for me like some angel of tragedy

I have to set you free
Darling you should be long gone
Oh, long gone by now
You should be with someone, someone

[Mutya:]
Glisten and shine
You promised me

[George:]
You've gotta face it woman
You ain't ever gonna change me

[Mutya:]
Where will I go, what do I know
About life without you
You promised me you'd never leave me, no
This is not real love
