I`m alone while you`re somewhere with some friend of yours
I`d find you but you`d let me down I know
It hurts to love so much and not be loved at all
But I`d rather loan you out than let you go
I`d rather be with you now and then than to know I`d never feel your lips again
My dreams are gone but I still want you so and I`d rather loan you out than let you go
[ steel ]
At least I`ll always know that you`ll love me once
Even though they stood in line to tell me no
If things with us can never be the way they were
Then I`d rather loan you out than let you go
I`d rather be with you...
