Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Borrowed love, not your's for givin'
You've got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I vainly swear in my starved mind
If borrowed love should start to grow
Toward one another's awful steep

And pray not to reap what we might sow
At every glance, you steal from me

I got desire bought with deceit
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
I catch your eyes still offering
Toward one another's awful steep

Borrowed love, this road we're takin'

Borrowed love, this road we're takin'
'Cause borrowed love ain't never free
Forgiveness for what passion wreaks
Borrowed love, not your's for givin'
It's wages paid with misery
To crave your look only one more time

Borrowed love, not mine to seek
Bears a hurtful cost that don't come cheap
