married, but not to each other

you know sometimes in your life

you may find it hurts to be in love

specially when you and the one ya love

already belong to somebody else

you're tied to her and i'm tied to him

and we don't wanna hurt either one of them

that's how it is

when you're married but not to each other

ya gotta go home in the middle of the night

try and pretend every things alright

but it ain't

no it ain't

when you're married but not to each other

make believe that you've been good

give your love to the one you should

but you can't

no you can't

'cause you're tied to her and i'm tied to him

we don't wanna hurt either one of them

so what can you do

what can you do?

when you're married but not to each other

you gotta be careful everywhere you go

tryin' to avoid everyone you know

'cause people talk

you know they talk

when you're married but not to each other

you've gotta make up alibis

hopin' they don't sound like lies

'cause if you get caught

and ya might get caught

hurry up and love him

hurry up and please him

and when it gets right

you've got to leave him

you better leave him

'cause you're tied to her

i'm tied to him

we don't wanna hurt either one of them

that's how it is

that's how it is

when you're married

but not to each other

hurry up and love him

hurry up and please him

and when it gets right

you've got to leave him

you better leave him
