a love that can never be

oh baby

i love you and i know you love me

but our love is a love that can never be

too late you've come my way

i've promised another to love and to wait

no i can't

no no

i can't hurt her soul

my love for you she must not know

oh baby

i love you and i know you love me

but our love is a love that can never be

my heart will always belong to you

even though this makes me through

she's treated me kind

our love for so long

now i can't do her wrong

oh baby

i love you and i know you love me

but our love is a love that can never be

darling

this is goodbye

promise me

you won't cry

it hurts me so that we must part

but i can't break her heart

oh baby

i love you and i know you love me

but our love is a love that can never be

i know i'm gonna feel real bad

i know i'm gonna be real sad

but our love is a love that can never be

i know that this is gonna hurt me so

and i know i'm gonna hate to see you go

but our love is a love that can never be
