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 he can't posses me
And he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking 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
Couldn't really blame you
If you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside
I'm asking you to stay
