Hey, the borderlines

Were closing in on the other side

With her love on my mind

I was just a working man

Working overtime in a foreign land

Tryin' to make a deal but knowing

Of thin paper walls

I met her in a small café

We shared some time over Beaujolais

Within a short span of time

We fell in love

Hey, the borderlines

Were closing in on the other side

With her love on my mind

We shared our body love through the night

Though we knew the end was in sight

We never stopped to think our love might not be

Borderlines

Could keep her love from me

Borderlines

Could say what I can see

Borderlines

Can tell me what can be

Borderlines

They will not control me, no

Borderlines

Could keep her heart from me

Borderlines

Could say what I can see

Borderlines

Can tell me what will be

Borderlines

They will not worry me, no

{They won't worry me, they won't worry me}

Hey, the borderlines {Borderlines}

Were closing in on the other side

With her love on my mind

So we devised a working plan

A new disguise to fool any man

'Cause that's the only way we could be wed

And once we saw arrangements were made

We knew that we could not then delay

Authorities were hot on our trail as we got away

Borderlines

Won't keep her love from me

Borderlines

Won't say what I can see

Borderlines

Won't tell me what can be

Borderlines

They will not control me, no

Borderlines

Won't keep her heart from me

Borderlines

Won't say what I can see

Borderlines

Won't tell me what will be

Borderlines

They will not worry me, no

Borderlines

Won't keep her love from me

Borderlines

Won't say what I can see, no

Borderlines

Won't tell me what can be

Borderlines

They will not worry me, no

{They won't worry me, they won't worry me}

Hey, the borderlines {Borderlines}

Were closing in on the other side

With her love on my mind

Hey, the borderlines {Borderlines}

Were closing in on the other side

With her love on my mind (Oh... whoa...)

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go

Let's rock, let's go
