let's keep it that way

there's no need to lie

without me half trying i could love you

it shows in your eyes that you feel the same way i do

but wherever i go

my conscience goes

what more can i say

it's only desire and not yet a fire

let's keep it that way

'cause i don't want to have to tell her a lie

when i get back home

'cause it would tear apart her fairy tale world

if i did her wrong

and lying to her would hurt me more than leaving you this way

so before we forget

we're not cheaters yet

let's keep it that way

let's finish this wine

'cause i'm not thinking too clear tonight

and the touch of your hand makes it so hard for a man to tell wrong from right

but she waits at home and she's there alone and yes

i'd like to stay

before i give in

let's call it just friends and keep it that way

'cause i don't want to have to tell her a lie

when i get back home

'cause it would tear apart her fairy tale world

if i did her wrong

and lying to her would hurt me more than leaving you this way

so before we forget

we're not cheaters yet

let's keep it that way
