I saw the light but it was too late, too late
I wanted to fight but it was too great, too great to fight it
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cause you opened my eyes but with the light out
I couldn't see it
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cause though you have deceived her
You knew that she'd wait
She'd wait forever
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
Oh baby, I'm the fool I guess
Oh now, I'm the fool I guess
I wanted to fight but it was too great, too great to fight it
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
I started to cry but I was cried out, cried out
Cause you opened my eyes but with the light out
I couldn't see it
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
I begged you to leave her but it was too late, too late
Cause though you have deceived her
You knew that she'd wait
She'd wait forever
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
Guess I'm loving on borrowed time
Didn't know that you could not be mine
I'm the fool I guess
I'm the fool I guess
Oh baby, I'm the fool I guess
Oh now, I'm the fool I guess
