[Verse 1]
What do you want from me?
When will you ever see?
I gave it all, nothing less
The feeling ain't mutual I guess
Why am I so confused?
Why do I feel so used?
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you
No, I'm not sad
Nothin' lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never

[Chorus]
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me

[Verse 2]
Telling my friends you're fine
Even our favorite wine
But you're not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldn't have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh don't be sad
I should've known better
Why didn't I realize

[Chorus]
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

[Verse 3]
Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
'Cause I need you and you know
You're inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me

[Chorus]
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
