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
Oh, baby
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 honey, I'm the fool I guess
